COOLE ARCADE was strong at the finish when opening his account at Fairyhouse last month and a 5 lb rise ought not to prevent a very bold follow-up bid. Toms Courage finished behind the selection in that race but can make his presence felt again, while The Declaimer might be worth a second look now handicapping.
