GREENBELT STAR has had very little racing for his age and followed two narrow defeats by beating a huge field over timber at Punchestown. He's capable of making further progress and still looks on a very fair mark. The ex-French Mudalalah has been making steady improvement for Joanna Morgan and the step up in trip is very much in her favour though some rain would definitely aid her cause. Keep It Cool is another in good form as she has shown with recent victories at Dundalk though she's suffered at the weights as a consequence. Gold Mirage was well supported for a Roscommon handicap earlier in the month and, though eventually only third, stayed on over that 1m4f trip suggesting today's distance will be ideal.
