Verdict
Mr Coco Bean was a 40/1 chance on his debut at Newcastle but belied the odds with a very encouraging effort and was beaten less than a length at the finish. But POWERFUL LOVE was doing all his best work at the finish behind the odds-on City Of Love over 7f at Redcar and, with that under his belt, can take this. His stable companion, the newcomer Addicted To Love, is by Medicean and out of a mare who has produced winners with her first two foals to race. Castle Hill Cassie showed some promise at Redcar and the 85,000gns yearling Lamloom will have benefited from his run at Ayr where he showed real potential.
