Verdict
Cozone has been placed in nine of 11 all-weather starts without winning and was beaten a nose by Joupe over the course and distance three weeks ago. There's nothing between them on these terms and they hold Curious Bride, who was engaged in the 5.55 at Thurles yesterday. ALAROOS won a maiden over this trip at Tramore and was caught in the dying strides over the extended 1m2f trip here next time. She's only gone up 2lb and can regain the winning thread though Fleet Commander looks the type to do better from this mark for Ballydoyle. Guild is running well and is another to consider and the improving Chally Chute would enter the equation if getting a run.
