Verdict

ROKANAKO proved himself fairly useful in bumpers and made a positive start for this yard at Killarney last month. He is taken to make a successful hurdling debut. Splendid Fellow and It's All Clear rate the principal dangers.

4	Left debut form behind when winning 10-runner bumper at this course in May and back to that sort of form when good second of 9 in bumper at Killarney (2m, good to soft) 12 days ago.

5	Best effort thus far came when runner-up at Cork last winter and again found only 1 too good in novice hurdle at Killarney (2½m) when last seen in May.
