A high draw is normally a hindrance here though the bias has been less pronounced in the last two fixtures. Even so, Roca Roma will do well to win this from stall 18 despite an excellent debut when runner-up over this trip at Leopardstown in October. PYRAMID ROCK finished fifth that day, staying on strongly when the race was all over. She looked very inexperienced and today's inside berth could just swing the race her way. Magic Chegaga was always in the front rank when a very close third over 7f here last week and will have come on enough to make her presence felt again. Elite Craft didn't do much wrong in a couple of decent maidens and her stable is firing the winners in while Cavell was very green in both starts last summer and her pedigree suggests this will be her optimum trip. The latter's stable companion Never Forgotten is by Galileo out of a Group 3 winner while Pinpointed is a half-sister to four winners.
