Formscan - CAPTAIN COOL didn't make it past the third hurdle when unseating at Doncaster last month, sending favourite-backers home unhappy. However, the six-year-old is a C&D winner who lurks on an appealing rating and he can make amends. Blackwater Lilly has been out of form on the Flat, but was successful in a maiden at Bangor the last time she competed in this sphere so she is respected. Of the remainder, Cosmic Soul makes the most appeal.
