Akatara has now had 34 starts over hurdles without winning so is impossible to consider despite several fine efforts. Cool Klan appeared to enjoy stepping up to 3m at Cork though he's also suited by good ground as is ROMEO IS BLEEDING, whose close fourth to Defence Of Duress at Gowran in September would probably be good enough and he'll be better for his recent reappearance. Fromthecloudsabove won twice between the flags but may need further than this and softer ground. Harpor may do best of the remainder.
