Having won twice last year on good ground, Rock On Seamie has been waiting for the right conditions which he should get here. But NA CAITH TOBAC also won on good going last summer so he did well to be beaten just a head on ground with some give at Leopardstown and a 2lb rise doesn’t look enough to prevent him going one better. Magnor Glory’s easy victory at Wexford last May was on soft ground and he’s now 14lb higher while Crimson Chief, who has been mixing hurdles and fences, is 1-30 and it’s a long time since that victory. Fattan has yet to reach a place in 10 starts but has moved to Gordon Elliott.
