Verdict

The selection is Cool Customer trained by Ed Dunlop and ridden by Jaimie Spencer in this 11/2 ml handicap.He came good with an impressive three length victory over Velari at Leicester at the beginning of April,this showed that the three year old had strengthened up and he has a great chance of following up here The others to consider are the Mick Channon trained Katchit ridden by Richard Quinn,his second to Jebel Ali at Lingfield in March would need to be improved upon as would his run behind Red Rocks at Windsor at the end of last month,however he would have a chance. The Neil Callan ridden Archimboldo was a long way behind Soapy Dancer at Beverley in April and he would also need to step up,but his third to Abstract Art at Lingfield would put him in the picture. The selection though is Cool Customer to win for Ed Dunlop.
