FormscanBy Michael Graham - ROCKONLIAM was a shade keen when sixth on handicap debut at Gowran Park, but that was his first run for almost five months. The form of his Killarney maiden hurdle has been boosted and he is worth another chance off a handy weight in this condensed handicap. Bannow Blaze is on an appealing mark with Eoin Staples taking 7lb off his back. He has finished runner-up in two of his last three starts off a rating of 100 in Cork and 101 at Gowran Park. With the booking of Staples, he competes off 97 which could tilt things his way. A return to hurdling could reinvigorate Arch Enemy, while second-reserve Mary's Pride would have a chance if getting a run.
