A lengthy absence is likely to count against the once-useful Don't Hang About while Doctor Henry weakened quickly at Stratford last month. This is usually won by an unexposed type and COOLADERRY KING fits the bill this year. Sheila Crow heads a flourishing point-to-point yard and her charge has only finished out of the frame once in seven starts between the flags. Will Biddick is easily the most experienced amateur riding in this. Threapwood is preferred to Stratford Stroller of the others.
