Star Of Oscar has yet to win or tackle a trip this far under Rules but he's won between the flags so should have few problems staying. Attalco is on a long losing run and is yet to prove he stays this distance and though Cadawill won this in 2017 he's been badly out of sorts. ROCK ROAD did much better when stepped up to 2m7f in a novices' chase at Killarney so could be good enough for this though the veteran Black Spot On led for a long way on only his second start over fences at Downpatrick.
