Verdict
Rock On Pedro, having been a very good second at Tramore, isn't suited by the race conditions while Cash The Cheque is still a maiden over timber and was beaten a long way at Down Royal last month. Hardwired is 0-21 though has mainly been chasing recently but the lightly-raced Aeros Luck has the potential to do better. Cullagh Pride has looked on the upgrade but HAMARTIA found 2m5f just too far when attempting to make all at Tramore and can get off the mark.
