Thou Swell popped-up at 25/1 at Southwell in February but reverted to his more usual modest form last time. Lady Rocka won at Brighton last year off a higher mark and Lineman went close here on a couple of occasions at the turn of the year. Thorntoun Care and Steady Major have both slid down the weights but COOL MUSIC was placed over track and trip numerous times last year and she gets a token vote in a woeful contest.
