Rock N Rhythm was impeded at the start on his debut at Punchestown in April and should improve as should Steel Wave for a decent effort at Killarney. Swansea Mile gave Katie Walsh a nice ride on his introduction at Tipperary and with progress virtually guaranteed he'll be difficult to beat while Little Haarth hasn't been beaten far in his last two starts and his experience could tell in the closing stages. MR STEADFAST won't need to be anything special to make a successful debut and the son of Kalanisi, whose dam is related to several smart jumpers, can take this for Gordon Elliott who has booked the promising David Mullins for the ride.
