Verdict
The lightly-raced and well-handicapped Rock On Brian isn't one to trust after his antics at Tipperary while Pierlow has gone up 9lb for winning on his favourite course at Clonmel. Cyras Love improved last season and made an eye-catching return to action at Ballinrobe last month so is one to note but ON MY OWN has twice fought back on the run-in to score after looking beaten. Philip Fenton's charge has the advantage of Luke Dempsey's claim again and a hat-trick beckons. Oscar Vespasian has a bit to find with him on their run at Navan last month while the high-class hunter Tammys Hill is likely to be warming up for a crack at the cross-country chase at Cheltenham.
