Henry De Bromhead has two entries with Rachael Blackmore on board AMIRITE, a very easy winner on just his third start over hurdles at Kilbeggan in April and potentially very useful over fences. Grand Roi has raced in graded company over timber since joining Gordon Elliot and made his chasing debut at Listowel last month where he started odds-on but had no answer to Adamantly Chosen. Palace Rock definitely improved over hurdles last winter and had a run on the Flat last month to put him straight while Rotten Row won a couple of minor hurdles races on quick ground in the summer. Whatsavailable had some decent hurdles form but jumped poorly on his chasing bow at Gowran a week ago.
