A very tough handicap to bring the curtain down but RARE COMMODITY looked a very progressive type when comfortably landing a Clonmel maiden on fast ground last month and the handicapper may have erred on the side of leniency. The Rocking Dock is a much more experienced campaigner who scored under Tony McCoy at Perth last month and looks reasonably treated and though Whats Up Gorden pulled up in a chase at Listowel last week he's better treated over hurdles and beat a huge field in a handicap at Punchestown earlier. Richard The First scored over the C&D in August but that was on heavy ground and he's been well beaten on fast going.
