Verdict

KING COOL hinted at a revival here 10 days ago and Gary Moore’s 10-year-old is now 9lb lower than when successful over track and trip in August of last year. Mystic Court wasn’t beaten far when on a hat-trick over 2m3f here five weeks ago but is probably a shade high in the weights now. Corrie Lake is still a maiden and best at Plumpton but Josie Abbing is respected despite a 5lb rise for breaking her duck here last month.
