Verdict

COOLE CODY made all when winning at Wincanton on his penultimate outing over 2m4f and can do the same dropped in trip here. The selection stays much further than today's trip and can get the better of the classy Flat performer Amour De Nuit who has been slightly disappointing over hurdles with just one victory to his name from five starts. Celestial Path is another horse who's not quite lived up to expectations so far over hurdles but he can claim third here.
