Verdict
Coolnacritta is saddled with a 5lb penalty for Saturday's comfortable victory at Fairyhouse but Mark Fahey's UK recruit is due to be raised 8lb so should make a bold bid to defy the extra. DOWNTHECELLAR (NAP) completed a four-timer over fences, the last three of them here, and reverted to hurdles on a 37lb lower mark at Wexford last month. He was still in front when running out at the second-last and can make amends. Mater Matuta ran very well when a close third over the track and trip in August while Shantou Warrior is gradually dropping to a winnable mark.
