Racing Post verdict
Third-partyCornaroya Rocco sits narrowly behind the top three on ratings, but a progressive profile and a fitness edge over those rivals make a compelling case for preferring her here over the 22-furlong trip at Ballinrobe. The Little Yank heads the ratings and cannot be dismissed in a field of 19, while Joshua Chamberlain and Nothing Hectic are closely matched dangers who will need watching throughout. With improvement still in the locker and conditions appearing to suit, Cornaroya Rocco is **our selection**, though this is a competitive heat and the margin for error is slim.
