Boston Rocker has joined Hughie Morrison for his first start of the year and has claims on his best form in Ireland. DUKE OF FIRENZE also has a decent shout on today's terms and will have come on for a recent comeback at Nottingham. Richard Hughes' presence points to a big run and he may well reverse latest running with Green Door. The latter was still beaten four lengths when runner-up at Nottingham while Silvanus had been in fine form before last month's void-race fiasco at Epsom, which can be safely ignored. The remainder have a bit to find at the weights, with Ajjaadd the pick if back to his best.
