COKO BEACH can have his latest effort in the Grand National ignored and he was impressive on this Cross Country course the time before, so he's fancied to get back to winning ways with the others all having something to find. Stumptown is the clear danger on on form if he takes to this discipline and his stablemate Fameaftertheglory is no forlorn hope.
