In depth
Verdict
Another less than inspiring contest, but something has to win and Brush A King, Cooling Off and Over The Hill should be among the more likely suspects, with a rather reluctant vote going to Brush A King, who stays forever and has less quirks than most of his rivals. The winner of a couple of sellers earlier in the year, he at least knows how to win. Cooling Off is more than capable on her day and comes here on the back of a sound effort at Fakenham last month. However, whether she will stay this trip remains to be seen. Over The Hill looked a right monkey at Hereford and has the visor on here instead of the blinkers he wore that day. He is closely matched with the selection on their running at Sedgefield, but isn't as reliable.
