Verdict

Cool Isle is the pick ahead of Bathwick Rox, Noble Edge and Ten Shun in a moderate contest. Unlike the majority of Kevin Ryan's juveniles last year, Cool Isle failed to get her head in front, but hopes are high that she can start life as a three-year-old by opening her account in what is not the strongest of contests. She is only plating class, but has finished second in the grade twice including here in October when she had Ten Shun behind. More recently she plugged on without threatening in first-time blinkers at Southwell and now has cheekpieces applied. There has to be a little race somewhere for her, and this could be it. Noble Edge had Bathwick Rox a length behind when scoring here nine days ago and should have that rival's measure again, while Cumberland Road's trainer knows the time of day in these events and should be noted in the market. This is not an event to get too worked up about, and only a small investment is recommended on Cool Isle.
