ROXBORO ROAD won here in March and completed a double when scoring over hurdles at Fairyhouse. He was in touch when slipping up at Punchestown last month and can get back to winning ways. Shanroe Al C completed a four-timer when scoring by 17 lengths at Tipperary but went up 16lb and couldn't peg back Fairy Legal at Navan. Charlie Stout has been in fine form in novice company but makes his handicap debut over fences under a big weight. Rocky's Silver was well supported at Punchestown last month and backers hardly had a moment's concern though an 11lb rise makes this tougher. Brosna George ran very well in a novices' chase last time and doesn't look overburdened for his handicap debut while Harry Fry's Onefortheroadtom has been performing at a high level since runner-up at Punchestown in May.
