Charlie Cool has yet to score in six starts on Polytrack and is having his first outing on Fibresand today. He has obvious claims on these terms if handling the surface, but a chance is taken on OURS bouncing back to form. He's been campaigned on the turf without success this season, but is a three-time C&D winner and if back to his best, he's much better than the other multiple course winner Hits Only Jude. The latter showed a bit more when fourth over 7f here last time, while Double Duchess is better than her recent poor effort at this track suggests and Dear Maurice could go well on his return to the Flat.
