Jessica Harrington has two entries with the Grand Annual winner ROCK THE WORLD looking the best of them back over his favourite trip and on ground that suits. He hasn't quite been at his best on softer going since Cheltenham but this looks a good opportunity to get back on track. His stable companion Mr Fiftyone was well behind him at the Festival but has since had a couple of runs on the Flat to freshen him up. Henry De Bromhead has three runners including Archive, who is 4lb out of the handicap but looked progressive at Wexford last month. Devils Bride may prove best of the stable's trio though his best form has been over slightly further and could do with some rain. The latter remarks also apply to Lucky Pat but Ballyoisin could prove a major threat if completing the course as his four runs so far over fences have resulted in three falls and a victory.
