Verdict
Cotton Club, a six-times winner on the Flat, drops into selling company for the first time. He has been placed three times in four starts over timber but doesn’t look a natural jumper. Cool Macavity does not look the same horse that won a Class 3 handicap at Towcester last year off a mark of 122 while Mizen Master was beaten a long way in this grade at Stratford on Saturday having won a Worcester claimer last month. Mash Potato appears to have gone backwards this year so we’ll take a chance on hurdling debutant MISKIN. Placed five times on the Flat since joining Robert Stephens, he could offer more value than those with experience.
