Rocky Wednesday's placed efforts in Grade company earlier this year are comfortably the best runs on view but he reappeared at Downpatrick on Saturday with a very poor performance when odds-on and is best watched for now. Whitehead Lad finished a long way in front of him last week but he's still a maiden after 22 career starts. Jenari has an excellent pedigree and looks a very nice prospect. He landed a bumper at Gowran in April and wasn't beaten far in the Champion Bumper at Punchestown so looks one to follow this season. He's an obvious threat though SILVER SHUFFLE may just have too much experience for him this time. He's been a little bit inconsistent over hurdles so far but a close fourth to Plan A at Gowran in January was a good run and he's been in fine form on the Flat recently.
