Ballybreen has never really sparkled around here but he can’t get much lower in the weights and was third last time at Hereford. Patient Owner has placed in both starts over fences and is capable of further improvement but Rock Of Star has disappointed the last twice and is upped in trip. IMPERIAL JOE (NAP) was a ready winner in a higher grade at Taunton three weeks ago, proving his stamina in the process. He won on soft going over hurdles so today’s conditions shouldn’t be a problem.
