Verdict
Jumping would not have been on the agenda when COUGAR was foaled as he's a son of Deep Impact out of a 7f Group 3 winner. He improved with racing for Aidan O'Brien, culminating in a very easy victory at the Curragh in June, and can make a successful start over timber. Noel Meade has three entries with Charlie Luciano looking the pick after a narrow defeat in a Ballinrobe maiden though he disappointed on the Flat at Listowel last week. Dual Flat winner Arch Enemy has come up against the useful Aghaboy in his last two starts over timber while Calico, who made a promising debut at Ballinrobe, jumped poorly at Down Royal next time.
