settled in mid-division, driven and headway over 2f out, hard ridden to lead over 1f out, ran on well
led, driven over 3f out, headed over 2f out, soon weakened
steadied in rear, some late headway, never nearer
chased leaders, ridden to challenge over 2f out, soon one pace
always prominent, led over 2f out, headed approaching final furlong, no extra close home
pulled hard in rear, never a factor
dwelt, always in rear
There's a few highly rated rivals in this claimer but CHARLIE COOL looks best of them at the weights and is given the vote. Tried in some valuable races this term the pick has been put into this grade the last twice and he lost nothing in defeat to plating specialist Fremen last time and this looks his race to lose. David Nicholls has a good record at this level this term and Bencoolen looks his best chance despite his son riding his other entry Kings Point. The first mentioned doesn't have a great deal to do on these terms and his win in a Beverley Handicap off 88 recently looks strong form. Red Jade should also have claims if running up to her rating but that is assured so Charlie Cool can get a belated score.
