Lucky Wish is better known as a chaser these days but he's well handicapped over hurdles and Barry Geraghty has been successful on him in the past. Queen Of Cool was in very good form all last summer but the lack of a recent run could be her downfall in such a competitive event. BALLINTEMPLE STAR could hardly be in better form and will love the ground and trip. He's a massive 15lb higher than when just beaten by Like The Da in a Gowran handicap but showed that he is well up to winning this under Ruby Walsh with an excellent maiden success at Killarney. Gordon Elliott's pair Tarkani and Chino Valdes are capable of producing big runs despite having absences to overcome.
