None of these jump off the page as being well treated although Deep Pockets has a chance off this rating based on his most recent score over fences but might be lacking fitness. So with that in mind a play is made for KILMORE WEST on the assumption he is open to the most improvement and is none the worst for his fall last time out. Pine Rock might not be that badly weighted based on his win in Novice company while Fine By Me was in form when he left us so if returning in the same vein should be in the mix. A tricky race to judge but Kilmore West has scope for more.
