It's more than two years since Danny Cool last competed under Rules but he was clear when falling at the last in a point-to-point last month. Solway Dornal was second over a longer trip at Perth nine days ago and must go on the short-list but ROSEVILLE COTTAGE's third at Carlisle looks better form and John Wade's gelding may be ready to open his account now as he looks like making a better chaser than hurdler. Knight Woodsman has dropped to a fair mark and may be the danger.
