COOL DIVIDEND represents last year’s winning yard and has the form in the book with a second over course and distance. That looks stronger form than Speeding Bullet’s neck defeat at Ffos Las and Liveandletlive’s debut effort at Sandown. Ciro Di Marzio is a half-brother to a Grade 1 winner in Canada and was an expensive purchase at a breeze-up sale in May while Blue Lemons and Placo are related to winners on the all-weather.
