MCCOOL BANNANAS finally broke his duck over the C&D last month and is taken to continue on an upward curve off just this 3lb higher mark. The son of Firebreak must defy a wide draw on this occasion but can show his early speed from stall seven to bag a prominent position and kick for home off the turn. Black Coffee loves it around here and must enter calculations, while the returning Spirit Of Gondree completes the shortlist.
