Verdict
Cooldine appears to have completely lost his form along with Made In Taipan, who hasn't won for over three years. Schelm is another who wasn't in the best of form when last seen and the ground may be too testing so ZAARITO looks the one to be on. Colm Murphy's charge has finished a close runner-up to Seabass and Tranquil Sea on his last two starts and either of those would be at short odds for this. Useful hurdler Shot From The Hip has been a bit disappointing over fences though still holds Regal D'Estruval on recent form.
