Verdict
Time To Rocco is penalised for her victory in a Tipperary bumper and she was when well beaten on a return visit. She makes her hurdling debut but Elusive Sea showed promise in bumpers and in both starts over shorter trips over timber. KILLOUGHTEEN looked a likely future winner when runner-up at Kilbeggan but didn't jump fluently at Ballinrobe so did well to finish third. Today's trip can see her record her first success though Saint Bernadette ran a cracking race for a 250/1 chance at Sligo and a similar effort would see her in the frame. Stellar Symphony's placed effort in a Ballinrobe handicap also puts her in the picture.
