Northumberland based owner Dave Armstrong must have high hopes of a successful Borders raid with COOL MIX. This six-year-old Fair Mix gelding ran well in a bumper at Ayr in April, and has progressed since over hurdles; only denied victory by slightly stronger progressive rivals Some Reign (Kelso), Treshnish (Newcastle) and McGowan's Pass (Ayr). He is the standout form horse in a very winnable contest, and a reproduction of any of those three efforts will be more than good enough here. Mighty Thunder and Off The Hook are likely to be competitive for the minor placings.
