Verdict

JOE COOL ran to a fairly useful level when finishing runner-up in a couple of Flat maidens back in the spring and having found things happening too quickly over 7f at Laytown last month, Noel Meade's 4-y-o is put forward as the answer sporting first-time headgear. Blue Nasturtium hasn't gone on from a promising debut but she's feared most, with Ballybawn Belter seemingly best of the rest.

3	Posted fairly useful efforts when runner-up in Flat maidens at the Curragh and Bellewstown this spring. Made a successful hurdling debut at Ballinrobe in May but has posted 3 lesser efforts back on the Flat since. A bounce back is needed but every chance that can happen. 1st Pick 3 Joe Cool (Ire) Jockey: Adam Caffrey Trainer: Noel Meade, Ireland J: Adam Caffrey T: Noel Meade, Ireland	100	-	-	-	20%	4/1

6	Best effort in maidens when fourth of 10 at Tramore (1½m, good) on debut. Not living up to her pedigree but she could well figure in this. 2nd Pick 6 Blue Nasturtium (Ire) Jockey: William James Lee Trainer: K. J. Condon, Ireland J: William James Lee T: K. J. Condon, Ireland	97	-	-	-	24%	10/3

5	Useful hurdler/chaser who made an encouraging start on the Flat when second of 13 at Gowran (1¾m, good to soft) last month. Not so good at Listowel later that month (finished with running left despite being considerately handled) and handicaps could be where she flourishes. 3rd Pick 5 Ballybawn Belter (Ire) Jockey: Seamie Heffernan Trainer: Miss Elizabeth Doyle, Ireland J: Seamie Heffernan T: Miss Elizabeth Doyle, Ireland	99	-	-	-	17%	5/1
