Verdict

Coole Well has won over hurdles but he’s been confined to fences this season and has not run well in his last two starts. Though he’s rated 5lb higher than SWAFFHAM BULBECK, respective conditionals’ claims means there is nothing between the pair and Olly Murphy’s charge won the maiden on this card 12 months ago and was fourth in a better race at Leicester on his reappearance in January. None of the remaining trio make much appeal.
