[i]T1 Roses Rockin[/i]
Early-paced performer but will need a flyer even from trap one with plenty of speed on his immediate outside. Lightly-raced over six bends and improving but has won only one race from five over CD and looks up against it.
[i]T2 Judicial Academy[/i]
Dual Irish Leger finalist who won his first five races in the UK prior to this, but has failed to score in the event so far. Should appreciate the switch back to trap two, but while one to keep an eye on probably has a bit to find.
[i]T3 Aero Majestic[/i]
Leger winner who left his first round form behind with an excellent run from trap one in the semis. Very dangerous if getting to the front early, but will need to clear early paced rivals on his inside. Has won eight of his 17 races over six...

[i]Trap Two: Emperor Leon (8.0)[/i]
An ex-Nottingham-based runner with Susan Corrigan, who joined Seamus Cahill's kennels earlier this year. Go back through the formbook and...
