COOLNAGORNA GIGGS has improved markedly over fences in recent weeks so the fact that he can race from a 15lb lower mark over timber suggests he's very well handicapped and he's given the nod. Raheenwood was behind him at Kilbeggan last week but is better over timber and is another well enough treated. Wontbelongnow was making her reappearance after a long absence when landing a Killarney maiden in comfortable fashion and she won't mind the ground so has to be considered. Courtncatcher has gone close on a couple of occasions without quite getting there while the lightly-raced Rolling Rocket has done well on good to soft going and gives the impression he'll be better on faster ground.
