FormscanBy Mark Nunan - ROLLY BOWLEY BOY can put his handicap experience to good use and will probably have plenty of use made of him given that stamina is his strong suit. The Carlotamix gelding has been placed in his last four starts over fences including over this trip on the second of two runs at Limerick over Christmas. Kates Hill has every chance at the weights with the selection and was well fancied when second on handicap debut over 2m at Naas. The horse that beat her has followed up and, as a three-time point-to-point winner, this step up in trip is an interesting move. Pictures Of Home was a hurdles winner last month at Fairyhouse but needs to improve on the form of his first two starts in this discipline while Atacanter has placed form in 3m hurdles and ran respectably on chase debut at Down Royal.
