Rock On Barney bids for a hat-trick under Jack Gilligan but faces a further 12lb rise for his latest win at Galway so is no certainty. Walkers Point was also successful last month, at Tipperary, while Give Him Time is due a good run. Witness Of Fashion will be 15 in a few weeks’ time but won off a 2lb higher mark over a longer trip on that track last season. Highest Benefit has also won around here in the past and Offshore Oscar should be approaching peak fitness but THE INBETWEEN is only six and a clear round at Cork last month should have done wonders for his confidence.
