JOE COOL steps up to a staying Flat distance for the first time, but scored over hurdles recently and is an able type. Defeated into second by capable winners at both the Curragh and Bellewstown in March and April, he did well to score on his jumps debut, is ground-versatile and open to further progression being a four-year-old. Eagle Fang has finished second in two hotly-contested handicap hurdles in recent times and while he stays very well, nonetheless might be caught for a little pace. Salsinha defeated Fraher Field over timber at Listowel and now switches to the Flat for the first time. Beir Bua also has her attention diverted from hurdles and should compete.
Prediction: 1st Joe Cool, 2nd Eagle Fang, 3rd Salsinha
