Verdict

Cooladerry King was a disappointing favourite in this last year and his best efforts under Rules have come over shorter trips. CROAN ROCK is a viable alternative as, though he's already had 15 attempts to break his duck under Rules, he's often raced in better company. Happy Ring House and Kiestown Chief, a winner at Eyton-On-Severn on Easter Monday, have both been in decent form in point-to-points recently and the youngster Stoleaway, a winner at Cocklebarrow before runner-up at Thorpe Lodge, has a squeak but Holywell Ryde may need this.
