Clifftop's only victory came over a mile but he's run well at this trip so should get into contention. L'Un Deux Trois was headed on the line by Happy Company at Leopardstown though that was over 1m5f and this could prove too short. Dream Point is another who has ben racing over further but Palabres gained her only victory over a mile and hasn't proved she stays this far. Rince Deireanach is the only course and distance winner in the line-up but she's been racing over 7f so the vote goes to ROCKVIEW ROMAN, who deserves a change of fortune after narrow defeats at Dundalk and Gowran.
