Racing Post verdict
Third-partyMr Cool rates 4 points below the top-rated Impressor on these figures, but a progressive profile and a fitness edge make him an appealing alternative over this six-furlong trip on good ground at Ayr. Impressor remains the most obvious threat and cannot be dismissed lightly, with Kelpie Grey and Taaklam also capable of making their presence felt in a competitive 13-runner field. Confidence is modest, but the upward trajectory gives Mr Cool the edge. **Mr Cool** is our selection.
