FormscanBy Mark Nunan - ROCK ON SEAMIE won for the third time on the Flat at Ballinrobe in June and might be able to make the breakthrough in this sphere. He’s up 3lb for finishing second to Ricky Bobby over two miles here last month and, having won over 1m5f on the level, you would imagine that he might improve a little bit for stepping up in trip here. General Clermont was fourth behind the selection last time having been runner-up in his previous two outings at Clonmel, so he’s unlikely to be far away and may also appreciate the extra distance. Knock On Steel won over a furlong further on this card last year and looks to be primed for a good run having shown up well when third at Kilbeggan recently, which was only his second run after a lay-off. The topweight Ellipsism probably need further but was in front when falling at the last on his most recent start over hurdles and a good claimer takes 7lb off his back.
