Rocky Court was an unlucky loser at Galway and is finally getting the hang of hurdling but Beckwith Star was disappointing at Tramore after taking advantage of a lenient mark at Galway. ANCIENT SANDS has been competing with credit at a high level on the Flat and though it's a long time since he scored over hurdles he now looks on an attractive mark and could repay each way support in a very tough handicap. Mighty Concorde has been consistent in maidens but faces no easy task on his handicap debut while Baroque Style disappointed when strongly fancied at Down Royal last month. Call Me Pj easily won a maiden around here in March but hasn't done as well as expected subsequently.
