Verdict

C&D winner COOLVALLA took another step forward and defied a 10 lb rise in the weights in the process when making it 2-2 over fences at Lingfield 32 days ago, looking all stamina in the process. He gets the nod to complete the hat-trick back up in trip, with Born at Midnight and Jeffery's Cross others expected to play lead roles.
