In depth

Verdict

Coalition has improved out of all recognition throughout the season is from a very shrewd yard and he is taken to continue his progression through the ranks even off this higher mark. Fourth Dimension could also go well he likes the ground but his best form is over longer trips. King Eider was a disappointing favourite last time out and that was on very firm ground he may find the ground again against him. Bobsleigh is another to consider he won in the style of an improving horse last time out when he was an all the way winner at Yarmouth and must go close. Irie Rasta was second behind Bid For Fame last time but that was in a four runner race and this looks more competitive. Decisive has only had a few runs and has scope for improvement and he could go well off his light weight.
