BARRA HOOLEY was attempting to concede 7lb to the more experienced Wilms Warrior on her debut at Kilbeggan last month and though unable to match the pace of the winner it was a very encouraging debut and she can go one better. Cant Wait finished first past the post in a Thurles bumper in March but was disqualified and hasn't quite been able to replicate that run while Pat's Oscar looks a stayer in the making, though testing ground should play to her strengths.
