Verdict

Beaten only by a totally unexposed one on return at Punchestown in April, ROCK ROAD made no mistake when getting off the mark in good style over fences at Ballinrobe in May and, with the possibility of more to come at 3m returned to hurdling, he earns the vote. Low-mileage Toss Again beat a next-time-out winner on his second start himself latest and is a big threat, ahead of Jack Hackett.

  1. ROCK ROAD (IRE)
  2. TOSS AGAIN (IRE)
