Miss Snossyboots completed a hat-trick at Dundalk but the assessor looked to have got to her when well beaten over 1m4f here last time. Rockabill is better over a bit further but has been given a chance by the handicapper who has dropped him 1lb, despite only beaten a length at Navan. RED STRIKER had decent form for the Stoute camp in the UK and made a successful debut for Ger Lyons at Cork, when Aztec Eagle was behind, so gets the nod from just 3lb higher, though Onlyhuman will ensure he doesn't have things his own way. A winner over this trip at Limerick, he only just failed to overhaul Magnetic North at Navan and further rain would aid his cause.
