Verdict
COCO LIVE is only a youngster in this sphere but has really found his form between the flags, winning his last four. He'll be difficult to beat as though the mare Summons To Court had some decent form in Ireland she was beaten a long way in one of these at Exeter last month. Big Georgie has won seven point-to-points including at High Easter on St Patrick's Day. That was over 3m6f so a stiff test of stamina would be required. Its All Or Nothing is generally consistent and has won six times between the flags though would enjoy some cut in the ground more than most.
