Verdict

The Cool Guy gets the vote ahead of Hibernian and Harmony Brig. The Cool Guy's record stands at three wins from five runs and he looked good when scoring at Uttoxeter last time. In what is not a strong race overall, he looks the one to beat. Point to point winner Joe Brown has place claims, while Hibernian's Fontwell second last time puts him among the leading contenders, as does Harmony Brig's Wetherby fourth last time and he is respected. Good Call was disappointing at Windsor last time but is surely better than that, while Cash King is a potential improver. Overall, though, the vote stays with The Cool Guy.
