FormscanBy Michael Graham - ROCHESTOWN wasn't at his best on his last start over 3m at Navan, but looks better assessed on his strong-staying performance when winning over a similar trip at Tramore on his penultimate start. Harry Swan takes 5lb off his back, so he doesn't look to be on a bad mark. Soldier Of Honour showed much-improved form when keeping on for a close third at Down Royal. If he can build upon that, he has to rate a danger. Not May makes her chasing debut off a handy mark. She ran her best race to date over flights when runner-up at Punchestown last month and it is worth noting that she is a former point-to-point winner. Moonlight Getaway was collared in Punchestown before finishing second and has to show that he wants this trip.
