ROMEO COOLIO quickly established himself as a leading novice hurdler last term and looks destined for even greater heights as a chaser. Indeed, he mastered Irish Panther close home when making it 3-3 over fences in a major C&D novice last time and while it wouldn't be to his advantage if this were to become tactical, he oozes class and should again get the job done, for all that smart mare Kargese won't let him have things all his own way. Downmexicoway needs to take a big step forward.
