This won't take much winning and though TIMMIE ROE has been looking one-paced today's conditions should suit the winning point-to-pointer and he can get off the mark. Shaketry has shown a bit of potential in bumpers and this is more likely to be his game while Miss Echrad was in touch for a long way at Clonmel and should be suited by the longer trip. Crown Of Thorns and Western Command haven't shown much but hail from top yards while the market may give pointers to the chances of the remainder in a poor maiden.
