COISTE BODHAR (NAP) has an excellent strike-rate and though he couldn't live with Jack The Truth, who runs in the previous race, over the minimum last week time may tell he was facing a very stiff task and he can go one better. Tagur hasn't been in the best of form since landing a Carlisle handicap in September but Viva Verglas completed a course and distance double in the spring and is now on a lower mark. Know The Truth was brought with a late burst by today's rider to land a maiden over track and trip in November and should have more to offer but Angel Palanas, though a strong finisher here last week, is 0-17.
