Formscan - Richard and Peter Fahey boast an extremely strong hand with their pair ROCK OPERA and Azure Zain and, as Oisin Orr seemingly prefers the former, he gets the nod. The six-year-old was frustrating at times last season, but that resulted in a steadily declining handicap mark which he took advantage of over C&D latest. Handicap debutant Ray Mon Dough sports a first-time tongue-tie and must be respected given his scope for progression.
