SPRING HEELED was unlucky in-running when a close third in a Leopardstown handicap in March and didn't enjoy heavy ground at Punchestown the following month. He's had a nice break and can get off the mark.

Im Cool Too almost caused a shock when running Stonemaster close at Kilbeggan and a repeat would see him go close while Golden Wonder easily won over hurdles at Bellewstown and has a chaser's pedigree.
