Not the type of contest in which to be going overboard, with the top-rated (82) pair of Bustam and Lucky Lucky Man both making their respective seasonal reappearances. Time will tell if that pair have trained on, with a preference for the Fahey trained runner given his previous experience of racing over 5f on Tapeta. However, whilst he has plenty to find at the weights, we'll opt to stick with COASTAL DRIVE. He was also the selection on his most recent start over 6f here earlier in the month when just denied by Ghost. His trainer Paul Midgley tends to excel with sprinters and under the experienced handling of Paul Mulrennan, he is taken to step forward a notch or two.
