FormscanBy Alan Magee - ROC DINO (1) has progressed steadily over hurdles this year winning at Downpatrick and again at Listowel last month. The Willie Mullins-trained gelding likes to be up with the pace and may add to his tally in this Listed stamina test. Minella Emperor easily beat Siege Of Carthage over course and distance earlier this month but there may not be as much between the pair on this occasion with Michael O’Neill unable to claim his 7lb. Theflyingking filled the runner-up spot behind I’ll Sort That in the Grade 3 For Auction Novice Hurdle at Navan nearly a year ago but disappointed at odds-on on his only outings since.
