Stan¿s Cool Cat is the form horse in the race and is taken to break her maiden tag here fourth time of asking at the expense of Hay Fever and My Best Man. The selection ran well to finish second to Cecily at Warwick last time out when sent off favourite. She had shown a decent level of ability on all of her races to date and looks the one horse in the race to stay on the right side of. Hay Fever has been frustrating to follow this summer. She has now finished second in her last four races and the fact that she was a beaten favourite last time out she is now becoming expensive to follow and for that reason is one to treat with some caution. My Best Man has been improving with experience and has course experience on his side when he finished third of eighteen at big odds on his penultimate outing and is another worth noting in the market. But for the winner we return to Stan¿s Cool Cat.
