Romella completed her hat-trick with the minimum of fuss at Punchestown and, though 8lb higher, will take some beating. General Clermont is still a maiden after a dozen starts and keeps going up in the ratings but Rock On Seamie has been in cracking form on the Flat and over timber all year and was only caught on the run-in over 2m3f at Downpatrick. However, he was behind CAPTURE THE ACTION when receiving 10lb at Wexford in March and the latter, though disappointing subsequently, looked on her way back at Tramore and can go in again. Perry Owens may prove best of the remainder.
