Jack Cool won five times over timber and makes his debut over fences though he hasn't run since December. SICILIAN SECRET is another first-timer over fences and though now nine-years-old he can start making up for lost time. A useful hurdler on his day, he looks just the type his trainer excels with and a long absence is never a problem for one from his stable. Lord Ben pulled much too hard at Kilbeggan and was soon done with but he'd shown potential behind Clouded Thoughts earlier and a repeat of that would see him in the frame. Eightybarackstreet had been in fine form over timber and started favourite for his chasing debut at Clonmel but was never really travelling and finished up beaten a long way.
