Sottsass gelding. Half-brother to numerous winners, including fairly useful hurdler/chaser Trapista, stays 3m, and Rider In The Snow. Dam 9.5f/1¼m winner in France. One to take seriously on debut.

Forecasts

Hartford (7/4), Quiryn (9/4), Coole Cafe (3/1), The Rock Factor (5/1), Mister Killeens (20/1), Felix Unger (25/1), Ballygorey Ruby (33/1), Lily Lovelace (33/1)

COOLE CAFE has already shown she has a good level of ability with last month's ready hurdle win and gets the vote, although strong market confidence for newcomers Hartford and/or Quiryn would put a slightly different slant on things.
