Verdict

Coffee has a NH pedigree and it would be no surprise to see him get involved on his racecourse debut. According To Trev and Moy River have both shown ability in point-to-points but this finale can go to BOY OF BORU, who represents the yard that won this last year. Diana Grissell's gelding had a length to spare over Boss In Boots when second at Fontwell and should confirm that form in the process of going one better here.
