COQUELICOT made a winning start in handicaps at Chepstow and the form looks better now than it did at the time. She may well be capable of defying a 7lb rise as she is still getting 10lb from Anythingforlove, who won a Grade 2 last season but has been chasing so far this term. Credo, a stable companion of the selection, is not without a chance and preferred to Another Theatre and So Socksy.
