Verdict

COOL COUNTRY has got back on track on his last 2 starts and can continue his good run of form. The 7-y-o went with zest switched to front-running tactics when opening his account here last month, so the drop back in trip could suit with cheekpieces back on and he can follow up. Fulgurix is feared most now taking his chance having bypassed Taunton on Thursday, while Myburg could fare best of the chase debutants for Sue Smith.
