Verdict

Western Island was gaining the first success of a 25-run career when landing a poor Clonmel handicap last month and is not guaranteed to repeat the performance after an 8lb rise in the weights. COOLHARBOUR BREEZE ran very well behind Undertheboardwalk here in June and looks set to gain her third victory over fences, though Streamtown is capable of running a big race as his close second to Dun Masc at Downpatrick in March was very good form and he's just 2lb higher. Island Peak, who was just behind in that latter race, has been going well subsequently and will have found 2m1f too short last time. He's on the short-list along with Judge Roy Bean, who ran his best race for some time at Kilbeggan last month and is blinkered for the first time.
