Coolfighter finished a short-head behind Flaviana at Wexford on Wednesday but was promoted to first and carries a penalty. Liclash appears to do best at Limerick where he's won twice and he's probably better over slightly further. MISS FAITHFUL has returned to action after almost a year off in excellent form and gained a comprehensive victory at Sligo so a 5lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent a follow-up. Buonarotti Boy was having just his fifth start over hurdles when comfortably landing a Kilbeggan handicap and providing the ground doesn't ease too much he looks a real threat.
