There's no reason why KOKOJO shouldn't see out this longer trip and she gets the vote accordingly. Brendan Powell's filly has some solid course form, and even her Sandown run last time wasn't a total disgrace considering she was easy to back. Prophet In A Dream was very professional at Nottingham and is respected with Richard Hughes keeping the ride, whilst Freedom Trail drops in grade as she tries an artificial surface for the first time. Saucy Buck, taking advantage of a falling mark, ran a previous winner One Cool Bex very close at Wolverhampton, and along with Young Sahib, Pleasant Humor and Torteval is not to be discounted lightly, with the latter three all capable of improvement now handicapping.
