Rockview Emperor is a course and distance winner and has the experienced Gary Philips on board once again but is 12lb higher than his latest victory. Tunnel Tiger hails from a yard in form and Tom Madden is a positive booking but she's still a maiden after 24 starts. UDOGO (NAP) was making his handicap debut when sixth behind Regal Power at Naas but didn't get the best of runs and wasn't beaten far. With more progress likely he can take this under Ana O'Brien. Knights Templar is generally thereabouts at this sort of level and has the excellent Sean Corby on board while regular partner Donagh O'Connor will ensure Shukhov, who has been gradually dropping down to a mark he's capable of winning from, gets a good ride.
