Longside was staying on over this trip and then tackled an extra furlong on his last two starts but didn't look suited - this track and trip could bring out the best in him. Play Nicely's best run to date came over the minimum trip here, though that isn't saying much, while La Estatuta has been tackling further since a promising introduction at Chepstow in the summer. She's been fading after showing good pace so is likely to take some catching but YEAH COOL could be up to the task. He's been gelded since a moderate debut on Turf and did much better when not beaten far in what looked a stronger maiden than this at Wolverhampton.
