FormscanBy Michael Graham - Coole Arcade is the obvious starting point after his success in Fairyhouse last month (with Toms Courage behind in fourth). He got up in the final strides to win by a neck and now has to defy a 5lb higher mark. He has fair claims in the same grade. KRICKETT has finished third on her last couple of starts, including in a higher grade at Cork, so is more than entitled to be on the premises. She is very lightly raced. Still Alive was gambled on at Clonmel in January before coming in fourth. He can make his presence felt off a light weight with Bryan Cooper booked for the first time. The winner of that Clonmel contest followed up at the same track on Tuesday to give the form a bit of strength. The Declaimer and Mullins Cross are possible improvers.
