A desperate affair in which stakes should probably be kept to a minimum. Cool Beans has probably improved a little since well beaten over course and distance in June of last year and goes on the short-list. Different Scenario won over this trip at Southwell a year ago but is still 9lb higher. Missandei is 5lb better off than when finishing less than two lengths behind LITTLE STAMPY here before Christmas but that may not be enough to turn the tables on the Irish raider, who has enjoyed a new lease of life since returning to the all-weather.
