Formscan  - KAPITEIN KOOL sprang a surprise when defeating Calvino (second) at Newton Abbot in October, but he proved it was no fluke at Exeter next time, finishing second under the penalty. The latter is much better off at the weights today but having subsequently disappointed, that form is expected to be upheld. Bright Legend is far more exposed than the other principals, but he made an encouraging stable debut at Fontwell and must not be underestimated.
