SPORTS COACH won over today’s trip at Newcastle last time and beat a subsequent winner in the process. He may well defy a penalty on that form. Influence drops down in distance after finishing runner-up over 6f here and can figure again while Jenni went close at Cork earlier in the year and debuts for a new trainer on her reappearance. The remainder have plenty of improving to do if they’re to figure.
