Kokoni was well backed on his handicap debut and reappearance at Kempton but again looked one-paced. Dangerous Thought didn't appear to improve for the application of blinkers at Kempton last time and has become expensive to follow but December's Kempton winner Cryptic could be the type to do even better this year while Marcle got off the mark when making all at Wolverhampton in October. WE ARE NINETY made a winning start around the same time at the same track. The second won a race in the UAE next time and the third franked the form at Lingfield last week so Hugo Palmer's filly doesn't look badly treated here.
