Plenty with questions over them here but also quite a few runners that are known to have the answers on the right day. Queluz obliged sevens day ago at Cork and despite going up 5lb has been running consistently enough to warrant serious consideration for the follow-up attempt. Handicap debutant Nivvo is worth monitoring while Lady Ranger could easily pop up somewhere soon. Cool Artist went very close over C&D last month and is respected but ROCKVIEW EMPEROR is now 10lb below previous winning mark and he has been running decent races this term. His turn is also surely going to come round again soon.
