Verdict

Roman Flight made a winning racecourse debut at Limerick in June and had a couple of runs over hurdles subsequently. He returns after a break but stablemate Rodriguez is fit enough having gained a surprise victory a fortnight ago for which he's been handed a 7lb rise. PRINCE OF FASHION has never won on the surface but this looks his big chance as he was staying on behind Prince Of Fire last time when Spin Of A Coin was just behind and Denny Crane beaten a couple of lengths. The latter easily holds Baitsileir on earlier form though Jim Bolger's charge has made good progress and should prove a threat.
