Verdict

Too Cool To Fool has looked a powerful staying type when scoring here and at Ayr and a 6lb rise for his latest success shouldn't prevent another big effort though NIGHT IN MILAN may prevent a hat-trick. Keith Reveley's lightly-raced youngster won nicely at Southwell under today's rider but his amateur pilot didn't shine when the five-year-old was beaten at Sedgefield subsequently and compensation awaits. Tinseltown hasn't shown much to date and though Lady Sambury has a C&D victory to her credit and doesn't mind the ground she has a long absence to overcome.
