ROCKY WEDNESDAY (NAP) won over 2m4f at Down Royal last month when always travelling easily. He's competed at a much higher level in two subsequent starts and can get back on the winning trail despite his penalty. Davinia's Tip had looked a nice prospect before a poor run at Thurles. If forgiven that effort she would have to be considered along with Illtakeitfromhere, who has been a bit unfortunate in his races over fences. Dawerann was beaten a distance at Clonmel where he was fortunate to finish second.
