FormscanBy Gary Carson - ROCKET LAD is fitted with cheekpieces for the first time here and may be able to open his account over fences. Emmet Mullins' charge has had three runs over the larger obstacles and this looks a slightly easier opportunity now. He was beaten a fair way when third at Cork last month but has shown enough to give him the winning of a race of this standard. Arvico Bleu sets the standard with an official mark of 128. He has been well beaten in a couple of strong handicaps on his last two outings but should be a player in this company. Gold Des Bois probably has a bit to find on his hurdles form but was a point-to-point winner and could find improvement over fences.
