In depth

Formwatch

Kool (IRE) looks the interesting one here. Paul Cole has a good strike-rate with his two-year-olds at Newbury and this 72,000gns purchase can make the most of the seven pounds he is getting from Brocklesby runner-up (and winner of a small event at Brighton since) Double Play. Time Royal also has the benefit of a run behind him but that looked a weakish event. Albania is well regarded but Mick Channon's string has yet to hit top form.
