Verdict
FOXROCK is in a different league to these. It's less than a year since he was narrowly beaten in a Navan Grade 2 and his three unbeaten runs in this sphere include a victory over the high-class hunter On The Fringe at Leopardstown. Maple Mons has had an incredible 48 starts between the flags and won 11 of them though she's never met anything of the selection's quality. Enniskillen is only a moderate point-to-pointer and though landing a hunter-chase at Punchestown last time looks destined for a place at best.
