KOOL RAOUL has made a bright start over hurdles and can go one better from his good second over C&D 5 weeks ago. Whiskey On Ice is interesting starting out for a new yard, while Tashkhan probably wouldn't have to run to anything like his best form on the level to figure if a switch to jumping can turn him around.
