An intriguing renewal of this Grade 2 contest. Preference is for Irish-raider ANTRIM COAST, who went down all guns blazing in a useful novice event here last time, form which was boosted when the winner followed up in a strong handicap on New Year's Day. The unbeaten Gidleigh Park is an exciting prospect and is greatly respected, albeit he's likely to be plenty short enough in the betting, all things considered. Johnnywho is a promising type and merits respect, too.
