Verdict
Be Kool was runner-up at Hamilton last time and Whitkirk occupied the same finishing position at Haydock on his reappearance when ahead of Chiswick Bey. Haraz has been thereabouts in both starts this year but Daniel Tudhope prefers stablemate MON BEAU VISAGE and that could point to a big run from the latter, who is back on a winning mark. Stanley and Hanseatic could also go well while Interlink steps up in trip on his first start for Mick Appleby and is not badly treated.
