SIZING AUSTRALIA found only Coolacashin too good on his return from a long break in this a year ago and that winner is now rated 138. Henry De Bromhead's charge will be unfortunate to come up against one as good this time though there's no doubt he would prefer a longer trip and some give. That makes him slightly vulnerable to an improver and Not Before Eight can give him a run. Tom Cooper's six-year-old is on the upgrade and produced a much-improved round of jumping when a length behind Ahorsecalledmolly at Fairyhouse last time. Strolling Home and Your Busy are consistent enough but have plenty to find while the fences keep getting in the way of Huncheon Wells, whose only success has come between the flags.
