COOL BARANCA has been hurdling of late but went very close under today's rider in one of these events at Carlisle the last time she raced on the Flat. She gets the token vote ahead of Grand Art who beat Erycina, Soprano and Hoar Frost over C&D last month on fast ground. Ayr winner Forrest Flyer would also prefer quicker going while Stormy Morning has been placed over shorter trips on good to firm recently. Terenzium could prove best of the remainder.
