This could come down to a dual between Rip Rocks Paddy Ok and CONSTRUCT with a slight preference given to latter who was most impressive on his hurdling debut at Downpatrick in July and there is no good reason why he should not be able to land this before going onto better things. The former obviously holds every chance given his racecourse experience and may have been a winner last time out if his saddle had not slipped. Feel Des Mottes could be the best of the rest should he be able to put a poor run last time out behind him. He certainly showed promise when winning at Killarney in May.
