The Brock Inn beat Do Try Dolly in a maiden over the track and trip around a year ago and has run reasonably well over hurdles. The latter ran quite well here on Thursday and there shouldn't be much between them again. The veteran Paddy The Celeb has been raised 2lb for finishing fourth at Galway but is more likely to be suited by this longer trip, a remark that also applies to Captain Carleton, who finished just in front of him at Galway. Water Sprite won easing down over this trip at Galway but the assessor has reacted with a massive 15lb rise which may prove beyond her. HENRY'S GIRL has won over shorter on the course but also landed a hurdle over 2m4f at Wexford last month so she's taken to carry her big weight to victory under jump jockey Paul Townend.
