FormscanBy Tom Weekes - Former point-to-point winner ROKATHIR returned to his best earlier this year and will be suited by both this distance and softening ground. He has been raised 12lb following his Punchestown win in February but scored easily then and in a 2023 point-to-point, defeated an ill-fated 120-rated hurdler to win. Cullig has more recent form, having won a course-and-distance handicap by 20 lengths in March before failing by just a short-head this month. She is 3lb higher than at Naas, but should continue to progress and is well suited by stamina tests. Getaway Charlie has won just once from 22 runs but ran well in a course-and-distance handicap last month.
