In depth
Verdict
Cool Customer is taken to get the better of Majaales and New Guinea in a competitive affair where several can be given major chances. Majaales showed promise on his Sandown debut before losing his maiden tag at Salisbury and he is capable of further progression. He is hard to assess but this is a tough contest and his lack of experience may prove a handicap in a big field. New Guuinea ran well at Sandown and York in decent contests before losing his maiden tag when landing the odds at Southwell least time. He is more exposed than some of these and the handicapper may have his measure. After wins at Leicester and Kempton, Cool Customer was winning for the third time when scoring in game fashion at Windsor last time. That was a fine display, and he can shrug off an eight pound rise in his rating. Cool Customer can claim this.
