VOCAL HEIR was making her handicap debut when just holding off the vastly experienced Shabra Emperor at Leopardstown and the assessor looks to have erred on the side of leniency with just a 3lb rise so she can go in again. Knights Templar won comfortably at Roscommon but couldn't handle a penalty a few days later and is up again in the weights so faces a difficult task. Rockview Emperor has only won twice in 31 starts and likes a bit of cut in the ground but Prince Jock is well handicapped if anywhere near his best and rates a threat.
