Verdict
Plenty of these arrive in good form including Time To Work, a very easy winner at Downpatrick before mid-division on the Flat at Galway. ROCKYABOYA completed a double earlier this year and was running over fences when unseating his rider at Roscommon. He looks capable of better and is given the nod over Shanpallas, who hasn't had much racing and was impressive at Down Royal in May. El Mondo has been chasing and is best when the mud is flying while King High was gaining his fourth victory over hurdles over the course and distance last month.
