Verdict
Rock On Fruity did reasonably well over hurdles but looks more likely to be a better chaser as he jumped well when runner-up to the odds-on Sizing Coldelco at Listowel though his path was made easier by five fallers in the race. Kylestyle was a slightly better hurdler but hasn't shown much over fences and may need further. LORD SCOUNDREL didn't make the expected progress over timber after a winning start at Punchestown but his pedigree suggests he could be better over fences and he's given the nod. The lightly-raced On Fiddlers Green looks the type to make a chaser and Rightville Boy ran better than his finishing position suggests at Listowel.
