Verdict

Winning point-to-pointer Rockyaboya looked ideally suited by a test of stamina when landing a maiden hurdle over this track last month and it will be a surprise if he's not even better over fences. He'll be supported to make a winning debut but faces stiff opposition from WHITE STAR LINE, a very progressive hurdler who made a promising debut over fences in what looked a strong event won by De Valira at Listowel. He gets the vote though Safari Sunup, three times a winner on the Flat, did very well over timber and is another who could be interesting over fences. Shane Rock may prove best of the remainder.
