Verdict

Oscer Romero was an impressive winner over 2m3f at Ballinrobe where he jumped very well and went right away on the run-in. He's been hit with an 11lb rise but it will be a surprise if he's not thereabouts. Ask David disappointed on his comeback at Clonmel but did much better over 3m at Cork though prefers quicker ground. Ruler Of Dubai was showing much better form when last seen in the autumn and will enjoy the conditions but this can go to STRONG ROOTS. A faller when likely to be placed at Punchestown in January, he reappeared earlier this month with a cracking run at Wexford and as that was only his fifth start improvement can be expected.
