While COSI BELLO's opening mark is no gift, he clocked a good time when maintaining his unbeaten record in a Kempton novice and there could be plenty more to come from this well-bred type now that he makes the switch to handicap company. Another positive factor is his draw in stall two, whereas Gallant and Sweet Fantastic, though both greatly respected, will need luck from their wide berths. Mayday Malone is also shortlisted.
