NICK ROCKETT impressed with the style of his Thurles bumper victory last month - the form of which has been boosted by the runner-up - and the champion trainer wastes no time in sending the son of Walk In The Park over timber. This looks a fair starting point for the gelding and he's preferred to some useful-looking rivals in what may prove a decent maiden. Lets Go Champ failed to justify favouritism on hurdling debut but still revealed plenty of promise when third at Punchestown and should come on considerably for the run. He rates a live danger, whilst stable companion Raglan Road, engaged in the 1.25 at Gowran yesterday, would be greatly respected if coming here instead. The more exposed Suttons Hill and the quietly progressive Clodders Dream are others who could also take a hand.
