Verdict

LITTLE BIG ROCKY was an easy winner from the front on his handicap debut at Killarney a fortnight ago and likely has more to offer. He's gone up a full stone in the weights but might still be ahead of his mark. The consistent Golf Marin will find this easier than the Galway handicap he contested last week and should go well again. Scalor completes the shortlist.
