COCONUT BAY (NAP) has the most scope of these having finished a close-up fourth here on her first start over today’s trip. The winner has gone in again since so Hughie Morrison’s filly gets the vote. On The Nose won at Brighton on her penultimate start and represents last year’s winning yard while Miss Sligo completed a double here back in April and Henley Park won over track and trip at the start of the year. Masqool has something to prove over this longer trip having won twice over a mile so far.
