Ruby Walsh was on board when CASTLEROCK ROSE finished a long way second to Theleze over 2m3f at Limerick and the fact that he's been booked again is a pointer to her chances and she can take this as the longer trip is certain to suit. Tornant appears to be improving slightly having run well in similar handicaps lately while See Double You won a point-to-point by a distance in February and reverts to hurdling on a very lowly mark. Vicalus was conceding plenty of weight to the first two when a very good third on her handicap debut at Limerick and should get competitive while Bluebell Princess will be much better suited to this trip than the 2m she raced over at Clonmel last time.
