Verdict
Rock On Bach had looked a certain future winner before a poor run at Clonmel and remains a maiden. Magnetic Force beat the consistent Konig Hall narrowly at Cork and there's little between the pair though the latter held an entry at Dundalk last night. Pursecco found 2m4f stretching her stamina at Ballinrobe after her bumper and maiden victories so she should go well back over this trip. Beautiful Ben pops up every now and then in this sort of company but Pashtunwali took advantage of very heavy ground at Listowel to run his best race so far over hurdles. BUACHAILL MAITH can only be a tentative selection in such a competitive affair but he looked a nice prospect when landing a Ballinrobe maiden before finding 2m6f well beyond him on his handicap debut at Down Royal.
