Carrigmoorna Rock and Morning Run, the two at the top of the market have solid Graded form. However, that form was achieved in races confined to mares only. Their form may be good enough to win this race but I see better value in Rock on the Moor E/W at 14/1. This mare has run 4 times winning twice. On her other two runs she was 4th to Douvan last time out (beaten 14 lengths in a Grade 2) and prior to that her other defeat was when third to Bordini in a bumper. She has been mixing it with the big boys and I see this as a significant drop in class. This lightly raced improving mare will be running, for the first time today, in a mares race. She will be getting 7lbs from the two market leaders and the fact that she will be going 2m 2f will be a big positive. If she settles and jumps well she should go close. I hope Knockraha Pylon makes the running.
Think Morning Run will win it Gotchee,it has 2 verdicts over Carrigmoorna Rock (who looks to have improved) already and just seems to do enough without ever blowing you away,thought Rock On The Moor had a hard enough race LTO.

Willie Mullins wouldn't lie straight in bed though. CR was very impressive at Xmas, and seems to be improving fast, though MR certainly comes under the 'could be anything' category. I would love WPM to be pricing up am a match bet with LT, if that's what he actually believes. Personally, if having a bet, it would probably be to place lay LT, or place back Rock on the Moor. She has a lovely attitude.
Champagne West will take plenty of beating in 2.25 Sand. Should be fav IMO.
