At The Races Verdict

MUSKERRY ROCK had some fair form under Rules for Mouse Morris and was placed in a handicap over course and distance last season. The Shirocco gelding has won a couple of point-to-points this autumn and his yard had a hurdles winner here on Saturday. West Of Carrig was third in a stronger renewal of this last year and chased home the winner of that race, Con's Roc, at Fairyhouse last month. He can come forward from that first outing in six months and looks a big player. Derek O'Connor's mounts in this sphere always have to be respected and Keep On Dreaming was a fair third on Rules debut at Tipperary in May.
