The one who appeals most is SCHIEHALLION MUNRO, who showed the benefit of his reappearance spin behind Cool Mix at Wetherby when runner-up there in November. He has few miles on the clock for a horse of his age and should have more to offer as a chaser. Cool Mix has resumed in top form this season and he has to be feared, while Romain de Senam and Get Out The Gate also enter calculations.
