Former pointer Cobajayisland should do better now tackling fences. Stablemate Lady Of Verona ran well on her reappearance at Perth but has rather harshly been raised 4lb for that effort. Blue Kascade could figure if fully wound-up while Brother Scott has more to offer and Silver Dragon was still in touch when falling at Kelso earlier this month. CARLANSTOWN stays further so is likely to be suited by the stiff finish here and the Downpatrick third can finally open his account under Rules.
