Formscan By Gary Carson - Another cracking renewal of this race and ROMEO COOLIO (7) gets a chance to stake his claim as a Gold Cup prospect. The Kayf Tara gelding rattled off a hat-trick of Grade 1 wins as a novice last season but his jumping let him down badly when stepped up to this distance at Cheltenham. He showed real class to win over trips shorter than ideal last term and can blossom now over three miles. Heart Wood was chalked up as early favourite for this race and the impressive Ryanair Chase winner commands utmost respect on his return. Old favourite Banbridge has had a spin on the Flat to leave him right for this and he is entitled to play a big part.%0A%0A
