Cool Echo was placed at Kempton recently and can race off the same mark while Sarangoo finished third in an even lower grade than this over track and trip last week. Born To Reason landed a double here at this time last year but finished last of 11 on last month’s belated reappearance while though Athassel has slid down the handicap this year he has failed to build on an earlier second at Kempton in September. LORD MURPHY gave notice of a return to winning ways when finishing much closer over a longer trip here last week and, now back on the same mark as when scoring over track and trip in April, Mark Loughnane’s charge gets the vote.
