Rockyaboya has been raised just 4lb for scoring at Punchestown but only just held on and may have been fortunate as a close rival fell at the second last. He should make a bold bid as should Chestnut Charlie though the latter has yet to win in Ireland and may need more testing conditions. Followmeuptocarlow is 8lb higher than when last successful but can still get involved while Zekarya will be better suited by this trip than the 3m he ran over at Thurles last month. WHOSAIDSO has yet to win over hurdles but ran his best race so far behind Edmundo over the minimum trip here last month. He's on an attractive mark and looks ready to lose his maiden tag over timber.
