Verdict
Waterloo Sunrise makes a quick reappearance after a very good effort at Wolverhampton on Wednesday where he was only headed close home in that 1m1f event. Providing he's none the worse he should be in the shake-up but COOL ATHLETE looks the one to beat. David Marnane's charge, a C&D winner in July, very nearly doubled his tally when beaten a short-head by Lily's Star a fortnight ago and though now on his highest mark this is a very poor contest. Bob Younger showed promise in three juvenile starts but hasn't been seen since a big disappointment at Ballinrobe in August. Miss Martinstown has gone well here in the past but she was well beaten on her reappearance at the Curragh in July.
