Arrives in top form, 2nd on last three starts (including C&D); should go well once more

Reliable 4yo; 3rd behind Signcastle City over C&D two weeks ago; new headgear this time
8 (8)	Chola Empire Bay J:Luke Morris T:David Simcock	J:Luke Morris T:David Simcock	130	—	2-5335	70	85	74	6d	—	—	-1	12.1	1.88/1	15/2 12%

4lb rise for latest Southwell win is fair enough; the 7th furlong looks a bigger concern

Not found his best form so far this winter; good mark if change of headgear revives him
2 (4)	Mr Cool Bay J:Callum Shepherd T:Charlie Johnston	J:Callum Shepherd T:Charlie Johnston	132	p	09-064	72	86	72	19d	—	—	+1	7.2	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Finished behind Signcastle City at Lingfield last time and still to convince he needs 7f

Ready Kempton win in October hasn't proved to be a springboard to better things
