Keep On Track is scheduled to make a quick reappearance after finishing second over 4m1f here on Thursday in a race in which Duers finished sixth but that surely took something out of him. Preference is for the less-exposed COOLE AVENUE, who won a beginners' chase at Thurles in March before being brought down early on in a handicap at Fairyhouse. Sizing Australia won over hurdles and fences last year and is still capable of a bold showing at this level. He looks the danger, though probably needs further nowadays. Star Neuville may also find this on the sharp side.
