Rip Rocks Paddy Ok gained his only success to date over this course and distance last summer and a couple of recent runs on the Flat will have put him spot-on for this. Whatsinthecorner lost his maiden tag over hurdles on his 21st start at Bellewstown and is up 7lb . Rachael Blackmore was on board that day and she now rides Act Of God, a Tramore maiden winner making his handicap debut. Shanroe is on a hat-trick after a victory on the Flat at Limerick was followed by a comfortable success under a big weight in a Tipperary handicap. He's been raised 12lb but is obviously in good heart and will take some beating though runner-up Lucky Phil should get much closer. ELEGANT LASS (NAP) had no problems scoring at Bellewstown and though beaten by Imperial Choice off a 10lb higher mark at Tramore the winner has gone in again so she can get back to winning ways. The lightly-raced Farid is interesting from a lowly mark.
