Tikka Light is clear on official ratings but she hasn't convinced this year and is overlooked. Uachtaran was a 100/1 chance when fourth to King Leon at Ballinrobe and won't need to improve much to take a hand here while Up The Hill has shown the occasional flashes of form and won't mind the ground or distance. Blackstone Edge and Glebeparkhawk are both recent winners between the flags but in a moderate event it's STOP ROAD LAD who gets the nod as he was noted staying on over the minimum on fast going at Gowran last month.
