COOTEHILL LASS has landed her three career wins here, all in selling grade. She has moved yards recently to David Evans who wasted no time in stepping her up in grade to a Class 4 Epsom handicap where she was far from disgraced in coming home four lengths behind Konstantin. Off an unchanged mark, she is worth support at her favourite venue with Silvestre De Sousa a good jockey booking. Songsmith finished just ahead of her at Epsom and rates a threat but the selection's love of this track tips the scales in her favour. Barista landed a Chepstow seller last Friday and is clearly in good heart and also has a C&D success to his name. A good showing is expected, likewise from Here To Eternity and the unexposed Faith And Hope.
