Steele's Rock was having only his second start over timber when comfortably landing a maiden over the C&D last month and makes his handicap debut from what may prove to be a lenient mark. Winning point-to-pointer Molko Jack has been running well over the minimum trip but may prove better on most testing ground, a remark that also applies to the maiden Whiskey And Rye. Get In There is a progressive type who had few problems scoring at Down Royal and an 8lb rise shouldn't prove too much of a burden but this can go to MR EKO, a very easy winner from a huge field over this trip at Cork for which even a 10lb rise in the weights doesn't look enough to prevent a follow up.
