Coolking had been running over fences before a fine effort back over timber at Cork in March though connections won't be pleased with a 5lb rise. COURT KNEE is still a maiden after a dozen starts over timber but has gone close on the last couple of occasions and she's well enough weighted to finally gain her first success. Carrigeen Kariega is also a maiden and though dropping slowly in the ratings she still looks to have plenty of weight and was well beaten in a maiden last time. Push The Button hasn't had much experience but found plenty of progress at Fairyhouse last time and could provide the main threat.
