Captain Cool is our selection in this Class 2 at Stratford, preferred to the top-rated Breaking Cover on a progressive recent profile and proven form over today’s conditions, despite sitting just a pound behind him on our figures. Breaking Cover heads the field on rating, with Centara level with our selection, and In The Air also has claims as a danger. Confidence is low in a competitive line-up, but Captain Cool’s pattern of results edges it for us.
BREAKING COVER blew the cobwebs away last time out after a long lay off, now, he killed himself by smashing through so many fences, he will be a lot fitter for that, and at 9/2 id rather be backing this than the fav who is too short for me.
