Verdict

BEGGARS ROCK won with authority at Limerick and a 10 lb rise may not be enough to stop him from following up. Bright Legend rates the main danger up in trip following a solid second in a listed handicap hurdle two weeks ago. Ask Anything could take advantage of a lower hurdles mark and has each-way prospects, as does Mercury Mission.
