COOLFIGHTER (NAP) shrugged off a 6lb rise for winning at Wexford and went in again at Gowran last time with seemingly plenty in hand. He makes more appeal than Mr Moondance, placed on his last couple of outings but upped in class for this. Ballyfinboy has been running well over fences and won at Downpatrick on his penultimate start. He’ll likely figure racing off a lower mark back over timber today and Wild Fern is not without a chance off her current mark on last month’s placed effort at Kilbeggan.
