Cool Jet will no doubt improve markedly for his debut at Leopardstown but Castlehill Boy looked a staying type when runner-up over 2m3f at Cork. Tucson Train, who was engaged in the 5.00 at Punchestown yesterday and is a winning point-to-pointer, showed the benefit of experience when runner-up at Leopardstown but the vote goes to PERFECT ATTITUDE, who may not have been suited by front-running here in December when caught in the closing stages. Ultra Viers hasn't run since March but made a fair debut at Punchestown a year ago so could prove best of the remainder. Shake Him Up and Fantasy Island were also engaged in the 5.00 at Punchestown yesterday.
