LIBERTY TO ROCK won this a year ago and had subsequent winner Granny On Fire behind when successful at Dundalk last month. He's probably still well enough treated to complete the double as though he was a couple of lengths behind Elusive Express here earlier he arrives in better form than that rival. General Bunching was behind the selection at Dundalk but Three Bells looks a threat. Patrick Downey's charge has suddenly found an aversion to starting stalls, though he overcame those problems to score at Fairyhouse. He wouldn't load when attempting a double at Naas so potential punters may want to wait until the last minute.
