Easy winner of soft-ground Cork maiden last April when stepping up to 3m for the first time; tailed off over fences only start since; scratched several times lately due to good ground; will get his conditions here but stiff enough task. |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Irish raider who won a small-field beginners' chase comfortably at Kilbeggan (3m1f, good) last month and was not disgraced in a valuable 2m6f handicap hurdle at the recent Galway festival; still unexposed over fences; commands respect. |

2nd Aug 2025 Good 2m 6f 108y |
11st 9lb |
In fine form over fences and hurdles; has won two of his last four starts, a conditions hurdle at Down Royal and a beginners' chase on latest at Kilbeggan; decent efforts in handicaps at Haydock and Kilbeggan sandwiched between those wins; needs a little bit more off current mark. |

Rated 133 over hurdles, most recent win coming in 3m Down Royal conditions event in May (good) and solid efforts since back in handicaps; ran twice over fences last year, faller four out at Listowel on second occasion when lying in second; in good heart and one to consider if taking to fences a second time around. |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 107y |
11st 8lb |
Six-time winner over jumps (five of those coming over hurdles); getting on in years now, but holds a good chance on current form; not a bad effort on the Flat at Tramore before two decent handicap hurdle runs, third over 2m3f at Kilbeggan and second over 2m1f at Wexford. |

Bounced back with a bang when easily winning at Downpatrick (2m6f, yielding to soft) off career-low mark on return in March; failed to back that up from 10lb higher at Down Royal but remains fairly treated on pick of old form. |

In good form under both codes recently; 3lb outside the weights at Leopardstown but took the third spot (3m, soft); backed that up when runner-up in a Clonmel novice handicap chase last month (3m, soft); withdrawn due to unsuitable good ground at Down Royal last time, so conditions a question. |

Is 0-15 over hurdles but has run well in defeat, including when a 6.5l fourth of 16 on latest over an inadequate 2m3f at Limerick (raised 2lb); stepping up to this trip will suit, good ground is fine and he holds leading claims. |

Verdict
On last season’s form ROKATHIR makes only limited appeal. However, he was in the process of running well when falling two out in a chase here last month and may now exploit a modest mark. Lucky Viv is a recent course winner who is likely to enjoy this test of stamina. Heroes Rise and Driveonwill also appeal. [Alan Sweetman]
