FormscanBy Gary Carson - COUGAR is a fascinating runner here and if he takes to hurdling he could be a very smart prospect. The well-bred son of Deep Impact came good on his fifth outing on the Flat when running out a wide margin winner of Curragh maiden back in late June. He has a mark of 92 on the level which is a fair bit superior to what any of his rivals here achieved on the Flat. Charlie Luciano has already been runner-up over hurdles and that experience is a big asset. He was collared on the run-in by Surac at Ballinrobe on his penultimate outing and looks an obvious danger. Shetland Tony looks the pick of Gordon Elliott's pair but needs to step forward from his fourth placed effort at Down Royal.
