Presenting Mahler has won this for the past two years, last time by 21 lengths, so he can't be dismissed despite poor recent form. BLACK SCORPION has also won around here and was returning from a long break when nine lengths behind Act In Time at Killarney. A pull in the weights can enable him to turn the tables while Rocky Court, a winner at Ballinrobe around this time last year, has only had two subsequent starts over fences and will be fresher than most. Punches Cross has shot up the weights since completing a double at the turn of the year and is only slowly coming down while stablemate Successor was a long way behind the selection at Killarney.
