Bothermenot is a useful point-to-pointer and the booking of Ruby Walsh is an eye-catcher while another winner between the flags, Deise Vu, made a decent start over timber at Listowel in September. Corporate Box has been chasing and isn't very consistent so the vote goes to COOLBANE WEST, though potential punters would need to forgive a poor run at Clonmel last time when something could have been amiss. His two earlier efforts would probably be good enough for this.
