Nonchalant made a successful debut at Cork in 2014 but hasn't won again in 26 starts including over hurdles. He just about has the call on official ratings and takes a huge drop in class but he's been running poorly and MININGROCKS may have his measure. Declan Carroll's charge has won three times this summer and though all were in lowly grade he at least showed himself in good spirits before a poor run on Tapeta last time. Ronya won a handicap over a slightly shorter trip here in July and should get into the mix while Thello scored in this grade at Ripon in August.
