Verdict

COQUELICOT (NAP) won three bumpers last season, including a Listed race on her final start. She is a half-sister to winners on the Flat and over hurdles and will likely be a short price to make a winning start over timber. Van Meegeren is having a first outing for David Bridgwater but finished second in a Naas maiden at the start of the year and later ran in a Grade 3 at Fairyhouse. Rookie Trainer found only one too good here in January and Brummie Boys was second at Wetherby last December but disappointed on his final start last season. Lifeisahighway has won a point but that was in May 2019 and he hasn’t run since.
