More Coko³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: W P Mullins

1/8

Took his unbeaten record to 3 with facile success in a thin 17f Carlisle novice hurdle 5 weeks ago under this rider. Can defy a double penalty stepped up in trip.

Form: 111

Drumheller⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: N J Gifford

33/1

Fair third on his better bumper run last season but little impact over hurdles this term, struggling early final circuit here 6 weeks ago.

Form: 34-66P

Old Cowboy²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: N F Houlihan| T: G & J Moore| OR: 115

4/1

Purchased for £66,000 after finishing runner-up in a point. Encouraging start over hurdles when third at Newbury in January but has folded and finished well held twice since. This is easier up in trip at least and he's the obvious danger to More Coko.

Form: 42-334

Surrey Nemesis^p1¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: M Goldstein| T: A Irvine

200/1

No form in bumpers/2 starts over hurdles (suffered breathing problem with tongue tie left off for new yard after 11 months away latest). Cheekpieces tried up in trip.

Form: 0009-P

Playaway Girl²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Harry Reed| T: J & S Best

80/1

Well held in bumpers/2 juvenile hurdles. Steps up in distance.

Form: 93447

Forecasts

More Coko (1/8), Old Cowboy (4/1), Drumheller (33/1), Playaway Girl (80/1), Surrey Nemesis (200/1)

Willie Mullins has his first runner at Plumpton in MORE COKO and the Carlisle winner can make it 4-4 with further improvement on the way. Old Cowboy hasn't convinced in the finish the last twice but is the obvious threat for the Moore yard.
