Verdict
Few make any appeal but COOLMOYNE posted a better effort when second at Ayr and has had a wind operation since. He’d earlier finished fourth here on Boxing Day with several of these behind including Fourth Of July, Budarri and Chemical Warfare though the latter had gone close at Hexham before that. Don't Talk travels over from Ireland with a shout having placed at Fairyhouse on New Year’s Day but Ghandi Maker needs to improve his jumping.
