FormscanBy Gary Carson - It was a non-event for KOOL ONE at Listowel with his saddle slipping early. The Kool Kompany gelding had been in fine form previously, winning on the Flat at Roscommon and over timber in Wexford. He’s a smart horse and looks capable of landing a race of this standard off his current mark of 118. Arctic Flame won her maiden hurdle at Down Royal in good style in late August and looks on a fair mark, off 110, for her handicap debut. She could be the danger. Ballycashin ran a big race at Listowel last time when losing out narrowly in a three-way finish. She also has to be on the shortlist.
