Baresi won two handicaps over hurdles in May and didn't reappear until last week at Galway where he never showed. He should go well on his chasing debut but JAKROS looks the one to be on as he was in the lead when falling on his chasing debut at Gowran last September and will have needed his comeback run last month. Rockshandy ran very well behind Gimli's Rock at Limerick in May but made several mistakes before unseating his rider there a couple of weeks later. Winning point-to-pointer Pestal And Mortar is bred to be a staying chaser and what she's achieved so far has been a bonus so she's one to keep an eye on.
