ROCKOFINSPIRATION has the best piece of recent form on offer with his second at Killarney last month standing out. Dessie Hughes' charge looks capable of going one better here at the main expense of Daffern Seal, who makes his hurdling bow after a respectable fourth in a Cork bumper last year. Granaruid has yet to score over timber but went close at Tramore last time, though Gold Sensation makes more appeal as she's less exposed and finished runner-up on her hurdling debut at Downpatrick.
