Maggie Walsh found 2m7f taxing her stamina at Thurles after losing her maiden tag over this trip at Fairyhouse. Rochestown was returning from a long break when placed over 3m on his handicap debut here last month and is one to keep an eye on but an 8lb rise for a convincing success at Clonmel is unlikely to prevent another big run from HARD TARGET (NAP). That was a conditionals' race where Cian Quirke couldn't claim and he's able to use his 7lb allowance here. Stolen Moment is returning from a long absence but Fons Vivus is better than she showed on very testing ground at Tramore.
