Verdict

This appears an ideal opportunity for the 10-year-old KITTEN ROCK too add a second win over the larger obstacles to his name from seven starts. The veteran bounced back to form when second of 10 beaten ¾L in a Thurles soft ground handicap last month and can get the better of another J P McManus-owned runner in the shape of Scoir Mear, second of eight on his most recent start at Leopardstown in December. The quickly turned out pair of My Manekineko and the Robert Tyner-trained Spare Brakes should not be underestimated.
  1. Kitten Rock
