Verdict

Keep It Cool produced a shock 25/1 victory at Killarney on Friday but there was no fluke about the performance as he travelled well throughout. He is turned out quickly under a penalty which looks a good move as his rider can claim 4lb from the 6lb penalty he received. However, FRANKIE FLOWERS has been in fine shape and followed a close second to subsequent winner Clara More by scoring at Sligo last Sunday and Philip Fenton's improving hurdler can take this despite a 7lb rise. Florry Knox hasn't shown much over timber but won on the Flat at Clonmel in May and is on a very low mark here. Tequila Lord has won once over timber in 27 starts but couldn't go much lower in the ratings.
