COTTON CLUB is on the small side for a hurdler and was a shade disappointing when failing to land the odds at Newton Abbot last month but Richard Newland will be keen to find a race for the Flat winner before the ground turns. Rooster Cogburn needs more but Massini's Dream has finished second in maidens at Newton Abbot and Ffos Las this season and was third here in June. Miskin makes his hurdling debut but has been placed five times in nine starts on the Flat since joining Bob Stephens and any market support would be significant.
