Verdict
Not a bad hunter chase to start the card and it might be worth taking Coole Abbey to go one better than his decent second place at Kelso last time. Father Rector scored cosily at Wetherby but this looks more competitive so might be worth opposing, but Samule posted a personal best at Stratford last time and could go close again if in the same mood.
