The top pair are the only course and distance winners in the line-up. COOL ATHLETE hasn't won for a very long time but has been given a chance by the assessor and is taken to return to winning ways. Gold Falcon gained his only success to date here in February but hasn't been running well enough to recommend and Campestral Scene looks to have more of a chance. He's still a maiden after 10 starts but is getting closer and the last time he ran here he finished an excellent runner-up to Maudlin Magdalen. Rockview Emperor would have to be considered on his victory on soft ground at Naas though he ran poorly when fancied for a follow-up at Tipperary.
