Formscan - Captain Cool took a step forward to fill the runner-up spot over C&D on his handicap bow recently and although respected from an unchanged mark, ZAMOND is preferred. Donald McCain's gelding went desperately close at Bangor before winning in fine style over 2m4f here latest. He must now shoulder a 7lb penalty but that shouldn't be any barrier to further success, nor should the drop in trip. First-time blinkers replace cheekpieces for Clan Chieftain, whose latest Perth effort was more encouraging.
