COOL MIX receives weight from most of his rivals in this and he can put a disappointing handicap debut behind him here. The stronger pace relatively to his latest outing should suit and having run well on good ground in the past he can get the better of handicap debut Big Robin who represents a leading stable here. The four-year-old Comrade Conrad remains open to improvement and can finish third on just his fifth hurdles start.
