Verdict
Rathnaroughy won a point-to-point in Ireland last year and made a highly encouraging debut over hurdles when runner-up to Drumabloo over 2m4f at Ayr 10 days ago. He's certainly one to consider here but may just have to give best to WYSE HILL TEABAGS, who stepped up on his defeat of Moon Indigo at Musselburgh when a staying-on third to Bold Sir Brian in a Grade 2 over this C&D earlier in the month. And The Man got off the mark in comfortable fashion at Ayr last month and should confirm the form with third Inoogoo. He looks the pick of the remainder ahead of the one-paced Freddie Brown.
