Rosie Alice made an encouraging debut in a bumper at Cork last week and is one to note though her stable also run Battle Hymn, who was having his first start since January at Tipperary a month ago and showed enough to suggest he will be in contention here. Runyon Rattler landed a bumper on good ground at Kilbeggan in May and though running reasonably over hurdles may have been finding the going too testing. A Great View made an encouraging start at Ballinrobe where a few minor mistakes won't have helped but it is FIGURATIVE who should have the call. The Gordon Elliott runnerwas having his first start since March when running well for a long way at Punchestown last month and that should have brought him on enough to take this.
