A sizeable field for the opener and luck in running will play it's part. However, this stiff track often sees races change dramatically late in the day, and a couple of potential strong finishers catch the eye. Whitkirk ran a blinder at Haydock last month and a reproduction of that form will see him go very close, but BE KOOL looks notably strong in the stamina department and anyone who witnessed his last gasp Epsom victory in September 2016 would be under no illusion there's plenty more to come. Whilst he's 8lb higher and hasn't an ideal draw, he's certain to be flashing home stronger than most, and it's worth chancing he'll get those crucial breaks when required.
