Anything that the Hannon team run this has to be respected as they have taken this race six time in the last ten years and try to make it a seventh win with Kool Kompany the recent Doncaster winner. Other possibilities abound though and it can be argued that he’ll find this tougher than his last race with the very likeable Sovereign Debt and Dawn of Hope among the dangers. This is probably the right level for Cougar Mountain and he’ll appreciate the ease in grade but a chance is taken with the globe-trotting MONDIALISTE who has taken two Group 1’s abroad and looked to need the run at that level last time out. With that run under his belt he could land his first race on British soil since August 2015.
