COUTACH confirmed his debut promise when landing a bumper at Perth recently and seemingly the choice of Jack Kennedy, he gets the nod to follow up on his hurdling bow. Sharing Is Caring is a leading player judged on his Ballinrobe effort earlier in the month, while Garnetot has good claims if returning to something like his French form.
