ONE COOL BOY only won a ladies' race at Ludlow in December but followed up that effort with a third at Leicester off today's mark and he at least arrives here in form, which is more than you can say about most of his rivals. Xaarcet is eased in grade and is steadily coming down the weights so rates a danger while the four-year-old Moving Waves can be forgiven a poor run on heavy going at Uttoxeter and might appreciate dropping back in trip. Its A Long Road is unexposed but My Lord has been well below par lately.
