WHITE COAT was no match for the winner when odds-on over track and trip last week but finished clear of the rest and John Gosden’s colt gets another chance in this less competitive affair. Exoptable shares ownership with the selection but needs to improve on October’s debut effort at Kempton while Solar Heights looks next best on a more recent third at Wolverhampton. Mohtarrif is a half-brother to three winners and San Diaco is related to winners in Italy and that pair make most appeal of the newcomers.
