Joe Cool
JOE COOL was only beaten by the improving Tim Toe on his latest Flat outing and is taken to follow up last month's win over hurdles. Daddy Long Legs looks worth another chance back on the Flat, while Duvessa should be in the mix with improvement expected. Murat is another to note on his first start on the level.

Posted fairly useful efforts in defeat when runner-up in maidens at the Curragh/Bellewstown over the spring, the form of the latter now reading particularly well, and having won a maiden on hurdling debut at Ballinrobe last month, he's fancied to double up on return to the Flat.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosBallinrobe2m 13yGood (Good to Yielding in places)Hurdle1/15Bellewstown1m 3f 90ySoftFlat2/15Curragh1mHeavyFlat2/23Navan1m 2f 20ySoftFlat14/20Gowran Park1m 1f 130yYieldingFlat3/11- 10(5)DuvessaJ: J.

Ridden with an eye on the future on debut/sole start for Mrs J. Harrington and having showed improved form over a longer trip when a well-backed second at Roscommon (1½m) on her return, she's the type to keep progressing for excellent yard.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosRoscommon1m 4f 46yGoodFlat2/12Curragh1m 2fYielding to SoftFlat8/17- 2(1)Daddy Long LegsJ: William James LeeT: W.

Smart hurdler at his best, he put an underwhelming all-weather run behind him when winning a minor event over hurdles in first-time cheekpieces (runner-up won next time) at Ballinrobe last month, and has good claims in a winnable Flat maiden.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosBallinrobe2m 2f 72yGood (Good to Yielding in places)Hurdle1/8Southwell1m 4f 14yStandardFlat9/13Ballinrobe1m 4f 202yGood (Good to Yielding in places)Flat3/9Plumpton1m 7f 195yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle2/11Cheltenham2m 179yGood to SoftHurdle9/16- 6(3)MuratJ: R.

Free-going sort, successful both starts in bumpers/won maiden hurdle at Leopardstown last December, he typically looked a tricky ride when well-held third in a Grade 2 novice at Fairyhouse in early-April but still rates an interesting contender on Flat debut.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosFairyhouse2mYielding to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle3/7Thurles2m 4f 99ySoft (Soft to Heavy in places)Hurdle4/6Leopardstown2mYieldingHurdle1/22Naas2mSoft to HeavyHurdle2/16Galway2mGood to YieldingBumper1/7- 8(6)Steel CutJ: G.

Left his debut form behind when runner-up in a Dundalk maiden (10.7f) on reappearance. Worth a go over the longer trip (in first-time cheekpieces) given that he's seemingly already outstaying his pedigree, and he deserves to be on the shortlist.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosDundalk1m 2f 150yStandardFlat2/12Curragh1m 2fGood (Good to Yielding in places)Flat9/11- 1(4)Counting CoupJ: N.

Makes a first start on the Flat having shaped better than the beaten distance when sixth in a Sligo bumper on debut (did too much too soon), however, he's very much bred to be a jumper.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSligo2m 1f 166yGood (Good to Yielding in places)Bumper6/15- 3(11)Double IndianJ: S.

Indian Haven colt. Half-brother to numerous winners on Flat, including 7.4f-1¼m winner Jawaayiz, but he could hardly have shown less when well beaten in a Kilbeggan bumper in late-April.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKilbeggan2m 110yGood to Yielding (Good in places)Bumper13/14- 7(7)Sea Celia's StarJ: R.

Raa Atoll gelding. Dam unraced. Finished well beaten in a German Group 2 (2m) on debut (for Luke Comer) and it's hard to be confident on first run for Luke W.

Berkshire mare. Dam, runner-up at 6f, half-sister to smart 6f winner Primo Valentino and useful 2-y-o 6f winner Dora Carrington. Makes some appeal on pedigree, but she's probably one for the longer term.- 5(2)MedadthebookieJ: Tom BuckleyT: Edward Buckley, IrelandAge 666/166/180/1
