Coastal Drive sets the standard off a mark of 69 but was well beaten at Chelmsford when last seen in action back in August. Poet's Pride made a promising start at Carlisle but disappointed at Hamilton last time but New Orleans and Citron Major are likely improvers. Lait Au Chocolat is a sister to a winner but fellow newcomer CASEY JONES is related to five winners and John Gosden’s colt may prove good enough to make a winning start.
