Verdict
Coolmoyne has the form in the book having placed five times over fences, including twice here at the start of the year. But he is vulnerable to less-exposed types like winning pointer Breeze Of Wind and NEIGH BOTHA. The top weight, formerly trained by Gordon Elliott and a bumper winner in his early days, looks the type to make a better chaser than hurdler. Royle Steel needs to up his game but Brian Hughes has been booked.
