Verdict
Rockbrook looked to have a chance in the 4.56 here yesterday. He'd earlier finished seven lengths behind Millstream Lady when the latter won at Listowel and would have a chance of reversing the form on 8lb better terms. Dual course winner Halsafari is on a very long losing run but CHAINOFCONSEQUENCE gained his only victory to date over slightly further on this track and ran a fine race over a trip too short at Galway. The latter can double his winning tally.
