Verdict

COOLTOBECARELESS burst clear in the manner of one ready for a higher-grade 2m novice on his recent hurdling debut at Chepstow and is taken to provide his top trainer with a third consecutive win in this race. Bells Grove was much improved when supplementing his Ballinrobe maiden success switched to a handicap at Navan last time and commands respect with the timefigure supporting the performance. Planters Punch went unbeaten in junior company last season and looks promising, too.
