FormscanBy Alan Magee - COOLBOY CHRISTY (4) may get off the mark at the 15th attempt under Rules. The Philip Rothwell-trained gelding has indicated on a number of occasions that a step up to this trip should suit and he was noted keeping on well in the straight over an extended 2m4f at Sligo last time. James The Brave was last seen winning over fences at Wexford in April and reverts to hurdles off a competitive mark, while Blackwater Soldier and Tedworth are others to consider. The latter won at Tramore in April and has been generally consistent since including when fourth over a similar trip at Clonmel on Thursday.
