Verdict
Little Rocky is very consistent on the Flat and over hurdles and has run some fine races, though he should have won by now. Master Ruffit followed a very good run over this track and trip with a moderate effort over half-a-mile further on a return visit. Winning point-to-pointer SIZING TITANIUM signalled his progress with a close second at Fairyhouse then ran Wildebeeste to a couple of lengths on heavy ground here, form that could be good enough for this. Conright Boy looks a big danger after posting his best run to date behind Some Article at Punchestown last month while The Tractor Man has shown promise in bumpers and has a very smart pedigree for jumping being out of a half-sister to Imperial Commander.
