Verdict
Rockanrye did really well to land a Killarney maiden on her Rules debut and looks a useful mare, having also landed two of her three starts between the flags. More is expected here but she still faces a tough ask against a couple of more experienced sorts even though she receives 7lb from both. There's only 1lb between the penalised pair on official ratings and they both have similar profiles having scored on the Flat for high-powered yards before going jumping. Chiricahua got off the mark over timber last month with a convincing Cork success but LEVEL NEVERENDING is a narrow preference in the belief he'll be better suited to this track at which he scored last time.
