CARIBBEAN CORAL is taken to land his hat-trick after completing wins at Bath and at Brighton, while both Louphole and Kelamon are very much respected. The selection won with extreme ease on his latest start and is once again aimed at a modest grade. He has been put in at a realistic claiming price meaning he receives weight from half the field. If he recaptures his recent form he will take all the beating once again. Louphole is an old favourite in these types of races. He won a handicap at Brighton last month but was beaten a fair way in the same race the selection won at Brighton on Tuesday and will have to raise his game in order to reverse the placings. Kelamon has top weight to carry which will make life tough. He was good enough to win a handicap at Salisbury last October but has failed to reproduce that form this season in some competitive handicaps. Connections have decided to drop him in grade for the first time so he is worth monitoring in the betting market for any support. Andy Haynes is a trainer that is very much up and coming and Caribbean Coral could add to his winning tally.
