Quarter set to get off mark
The once-raced four-year-old made a promising start at the Punchestown Festival in April and can be confidently expected to build on that.
The selection stayed on quite nicely to fill third spot behind Divine Rhapsody and Double Double and the form is probably reasonable.
Double Double had won his previous race, and was successful after Punchestown as well, to lend credence to such a theory.
Northern Rocker beat Paintmaker by three parts of a length, when the pair were third and fourth respectively behind Force Of Habit and Hail Caesar at Galway last week, and they look the ones on which to concentrate in the Dysart Maiden Hurdle.
Paintmaker was near the front throughout on that occasion and could reverse the placings now, over this much easier track.
Silence Speaks gets the vote to complete a hat-trick in the Carrick-On-Shannon Handicap Chase.
He went up 8lbs for scoring by two lengths at Killarney, but seemed to win with a degree of ease!
Edward O’Grady’s Rare Commodity might be capable of landing the Connaught Beginners Chase.
He was in second place, and beaten, when falling at the last in the contest won by Glenstal Abbey at Tipperary and that entitles him to go close in this modest contest.
