Rocky Court looked in good form when just failing to concede 1lb to Bridge Native at Downpatrick but could have done without a 2lb rise and BENEFIT RUN may just have the edge on these terms. Ross O'Sullivan's charge was conceding Bridge Native 9lb when beaten just over three lengths at Tramore in January and collateral form can see him take this. Stylish Moments last ran over hurdles in November when narrowly beaten at Thurles. He's better handicapped over hurdles but has failed to take advantage the last three times he's run. Act In Time is capable of winning this at his best which he showed when landing a handicap at Killarney last August but Ar Eagla Na Heagla has a long absence to overcome, though has won first-time-back in the past.
