Brocklesby winner He's So Cool has every chance on his best form, but missed the break and raced wide on his previous visit to this track. The rains had arrived by the time Cravat took his chance in the Norfolk at Ascot last time and he's got the worst of the draw today. But he has bags of speed and beat TIGHT LIPPED at Beverley in May. However, the latter has since improved and given he might not have shown his best when third in soft ground at Ayr last time, there's a chance David Brown's charge may be ahead of the handicapper. He gets the nod from a favourable draw ahead of Musical Valley, who is lumbered with a penalty for last week's win at Haydock. Pitt Rivers could prove best of the rest.
