Returned for promising handicap debut at Down Royal in early May, none too fluent and short of room at crucial time when third of 20 over today's trip (good); later in month disappointing favourite over C&D, jumping letting him down; remains a potential improver given more fluent round of jumping.

Verdict

But for interference and a stumble, COOL SUMMMER (nap) would have finished closer at Roscommon last month. She makes plenty of appeal now and is preferred to Sidiriya, who has been placed in two of her three outings this season, and Grey Gardens, who can benefit from 5lb claimed off top weight. Course winner Max Meridius needs to bounce back from a poor run last time. Let Him B also needs to recapture his best form. [Alan Sweetman]
