Verdict
It's almost exactly a year since ROCK ROAD made a successful debut for Willie Mullins in a handicap chase at Kilbeggan but he can repeat the process over hurdles. Urabamba returned after a long break to make a promising handicap debut at Tramore and should make further progress while Listenheretomejack was unsuited by very testing conditions at Ballinrobe after winning there earlier. Capture The Action has been looking a bit high in the weights after scoring at Wexford but Top Line Tommy came from a long way back at Downpatrick and has a chance from 2lb higher providing the ground doesn't become soft.
