Princely Conn, who has been hurdling, is two from three around here and reverts to fences on a 12lb lower mark. Tiantu ran a fine race here a fortnight ago and has surprisingly been dropped 1lb though that was over two miles. Captain Jimmy has been raised 10lb for a very convincing victory over 2m6f on heavy ground at Galway, with Sanibel Island well beaten in third, and isn't certain to get that sort of stamina test here. Crack On Corrie won over hurdles at Fairyhouse but is yet to score over fences so the vote goes to DRUMMULLAGH ROCKY. Sean McPartan's charge is just 3lb higher than when winning a better race than this at Downpatrick, acts on any ground and stays the trip.
