KOOL HENRY is posed a tough question off topweight but David O'Meara's colt is in great form, has excellent early pace and steps down in grade after two narrow defeats at the hands of Last Bid in competitive York nurseries. He's the best horse in the race on known form and is taken to defy his burden. See Clearly represents Last Bid's handler, Tim Easterby, and the filly looks on the upgrade after a much improved effort last time, but her best form is with cut in the ground. Miss Rosie is the potential improver although she needs to progress from a solid Beverley success. She looks on a good mark, whilst Beechey's Beauty is consistent if unlikely to improve much but sits on a lowly mark and has place claims.
