FormscanBy Mark Nunan - CALL ME ROCKY has run creditably in both handicap starts since winning a maiden at Limerick in July. He shaped well in a maiden at this venue last year and he can go close for Ben Coen who has just returned after missing a couple of months through injury. Alhaazm, a full-brother to Irish Guineas winner Awtaad, gained a breakthrough win over 7f here last time and should be competitive again over a furlong further and up 4lb in the ratings. Longbourn had placed form at this track last year and is one to consider in his first handicap after a maiden win at Tipperary. Bucky Larson has run in some hot handicaps since winning at Gowran in June and can’t be ruled out in this grade.
