Coole Craft couldn't get to grips with Wings Like Arion at Gowran, though the winner came out a few days later and won again. He had earlier failed by a couple of lengths to hold ROCK ON BARNEY over this track and trip and the winner has since run well in a better race at Punchestown. He looks the safest option as Zipporah is held in both of those races though was in winning form around here at this time a year ago and a return to form wouldn't be a shock. Winsor Vixen is yet to win nor has Littlestickarubarb but the latter has shown potential and makes her debut for a new stable. Lets High Five It hasn't made the expected progress since his victory at Thurles a year ago and is still higher in the weights.
