Verdict
Blackstair Rocco had shown very little before landing a gamble at Down Royal where he came home on the bridle by 16 lengths. He's been hit with a 22lb rise and takes on some in-form rivals in this better race. New Ross was also well supported in what looked a weak Punchestown maiden and overcame a mistake at the last to win with a bit in hand and looks on a reasonable mark. Charlie Siringo had some decent form over the winter and, after a couple of moderate efforts in the spring, came back to life in a Downpatrick maiden and should get into the picture but ONEKNIGHTMOREIHOPE deserves a change of fortune after narrow defeats in four recent handicaps. He couldn't quite hold off Julies Stowaway at Ballinroble last time but better ground can see him home.
