In depth

Verdict

Our Monty looked a very progressive staying chaser when scoring over 3m4f at Cork in November 2009 and though having a long absence to overcome that's rarely a problem for one of Willie Mullins. THAT'LL DO ME is progressing at a rate of knots and though having much more to do than when slamming a field of handicappers at Punchestown he's in such good shape that he can gain his third success in four starts. Rocky Wednesday is another going well and thoroughly deserved his maiden success over timber at Down Royal. He tackles this trip for the first time and should have no problems staying, a remark that also applies to Dooney Rock, who led for much of the way over 3m at Leopardstown last time. Letter Of Credit has competed at Grade level since landing a Galway maiden in October and will appreciate this drop in class.
