CAPTAIN KOLO won on the only previous occasion he's encountered soft ground and Tim Easterby's charge can return to winning ways dropping down in class. Ever Roses went close in testing conditions at Redcar in June and she can figure, while Myjestic Melody just failed at Ayr on her latest start and is another to consider. Mini Bon Bon won on the Fibresand early this year and has outside claims, but Cool In The Shade was beaten seven lengths when runner-up on slow ground at Redcar and gets first-time blinkers today.
