Coe is taken to continue the good record of this stable in this event with Harry Wood and Innominate heading a long list of dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Mirage Dore, that horse has since franked the form and despite top weight he is taken to win again. Harry Wood was disappointing last time out but prior to that he had looked progressive and he should be watched in the market. Innominate was a fair second behind Tazbar last time out and looks sure to be suited by this shorter trip. Peut Etre Sivola showed fair form in his native France and is representing a top in for yard so he is another that should be monitored in the market. Cote d'Argent is sure to improve for this stiffer test of stamina but for the winner we return to Coe.
