JUNGLE COVE is a consistent sort who shaped well when third at Cork a couple of months ago, so he could take the beating in a race where few look well treated. Giustino is a player if he can get back on the up, while Kosman can't be ruled out despite going up plenty for making all at Naas 15 days ago.
