The ease in which MISTER COFFEY came through from the back to score impressively over C&D last time sticks in the mind and, with more to come, he's well fancied to defy a rise despite this tougher assignment. Galice Macalo is a clear danger unless she gets in a speed duel, while it's too soon to write Solo off as he tries a handicap for the first time.
