Forecasts

Lucid Dreams (13/8), Krabat (3/1), Clifton Warrior (16/5), So Scottish (6/1), Coqolino (12/1), Ex Patriot (25/1)

Verdict

Though his well-being has to be taken on trust following 11 months off, COQOLINO showed more than enough in a trio of strong maiden chases to suggest that he will up to winning handicaps off this sort of mark. He earns the vote ahead of So Scottish, who took well to fences last season and may well have more to offer. Lucid Dreams is best of the rest.

  1. COQOLINO (FR)
  2. SO SCOTTISH (FR)
  3. CLIFTON WARRIOR
