Verdict
No winning form to consider and only a token vote goes the way of COCO LA BELLE in something of a lottery. She went close in a Ripon seller before well beaten in a Class 4 handicap last time. Katebird has also been handicapping and was not beaten that far despite finishing only fifth at Carlisle while Jollydee can figure if rediscovering her earlier form. George Ravenscar was fourth in a Bath handicap last time and the numerous handicap debutants are worth monitoring for any support in the betting.
