oddschecker Verdict
It's difficult to build a strong case for most of these, so it might be worth taking a chance on MR COOL. His mark has been on the decline all year but he struck over C&D 12 months ago and perhaps a return to this venue, coupled with a drop into class 6 company for the first time, will spark an improved display. Fan Mail failed to back up a promising Carlisle effort at Thirsk but still remains of interest, while Big Apple Jack might do better back on the grass.
Prediction: 1st Mr Cool, 2nd Fan Mail, 3rd Big Apple Jack
