Gerannjo hasn't really progressed over fences since scoring at Killarney in August and is probably a few pounds high at present. The Rocking Dock is very consistent and scored at Downpatrick on fast ground the last time he ran over the bigger obstacles. JIGALO has failed to reach a place in his three starts over fences but there is no doubt he is better than he has shown so far and has been in great form over hurdles with a recent success at Punchestown the obvious highlight. The veteran Clear Gold has had very little racing for his age and though he fell at an early stage at Punchestown his earlier placed efforts there and at Fairyhouse point to his chances here. Francis Du Mesnil is another to keep an eye on as he landed a tough handicap at Listowel in September on good ground.
