Verdict

ROJUCO MAC shaped with plenty of promise when third in a decent-quality event at this course in February and looks the one to beat in receipt of weight from Down Royal scorer Ballyfad, who seems sure to do better. Grandy Lane made an encouraging start in this sphere when runner-up at Clonmel recently and must enter calculations, too.
