Sole win came on turf on racecourse debut back in 2014. Not beaten far when third under today's jockey over C&D last August but held in two outings since including seasonal debut last month. Interesting off a 2lb lower mark than for that third placed finish.

Racing in France earlier this year with his best effort coming when beaten 3L into third over this distance at Cagnes-Sur-Mer in February. Well held over this C&D last time out and a bit to prove at present.

Both wins have come on turf and well held over C&D off a 2lb higher mark a month ago. Beaten 1L off that same mark over an extended 1m1f here in February however and worth a check in the market with a leading amateur booked to ride here.

Maiden after 25 outings but one of her better efforts when beaten a short-head over 1m6f here in February but well held since. Disappointing since however and wears blinkers and an eyeshield for the first time today.

Successful six times from 67 career starts. Beaten a head off a 2lb lower mark under today's jockey when racing over C&D in February. Partnership have since won over hurdles and looks likely to run well again here.

Sole success came over 1m2f at Pontefract (soft) in April 2014. Ran a fair race when fourth off a 5lb higher mark over 1m4f at Hamilton (good-to-soft) in September but beaten 52L over the same C&D next time out and probably best watched today.

Victorious five times on the Flat in the past but last success in this sphere came in June 2014. Well-handicapped on his old form but beaten 10L on final two outing's of last season and makes his seasonal debut today.

Placed on each of his last two outings over C&D including when a head second in a selling handicap last month. Has won off higher marks on turf in the past and likely to run well once more.

Forecasts

Cape Spirit (5/1), Frap (11/2), Cool Music (13/2), Uphold (7/1), Filament Of Gold (9/1), Senor George (9/1), Anton Dolin (9/1), Champagne Rules (12/1), Steady Major (14/1), Cold Fusion (16/1), L'ami De Rouge (18/1), Operateur (50/1)

Verdict

Top weight COOL MUSIC finished third in a similar race to this here back in August last year and is likely to have improved for her eighth placed finish over C&D last month. The selection has leading amateur rider Serena Brotherton in the saddle once more and can get the better of Anton Dolin who has been in good form recently including when winning over hurdles a fortnight ago with Frap taken to finish third on just his second attempt at this trip.
