Verdict

ROCK ROAD has won over fences here and had a comfortable victory in the Mayo National at Ballinrobe in May. He reverts to hurdles on a 15lb lower mark and will be very difficult to beat. Jack Hackett has a very similar profile having also scored over fences recently and is on a 15lb lower mark so he's an obvious threat while Sweet Sting has won over the trip and is running well though 11lb higher than her victory at Tipperary in May. Toss Again has only had two starts over timber, scrambling home in a Ballinrobe maiden in May, and makes his handicap debut.
