It's All An Act has not won since landing this last year and remains 7lb higher. WHATEVER IT TAKES makes more appeal as he was placed off today's mark the last time he raced over timber and arrives on the back of a win on the Flat at Dundalk. Better is expected of Coolfighter given he has returned a losing favourite on his last two outings while Rock On Bach went very close at Clonmel last month before disappointing at Gowran. Comehere Hi and Cillian's Well have won maiden hurdles recently but neither figured on their respective handicap debuts.
