In depth
Verdict
ROCKY'S HOWYA bumped into a couple of smart types last month, runner-up to Mt Leinster and En Beton. He's now had nine runs without winning but those performances offer the best form on view. Captain Mc had some strong form at the backend of last year and pulled much too hard when beaten a long way on his reappearance. Endless Cash and Gladiatorial will definitely benefit from the step up in trip as will O Connell Street, from a yard in top form.
