Verdict
Most of these have been competing in bumpers and over hurdles but that doesn't apply to the three-year-old COCONELL. She's made steady progress on the Polytrack culminating in a second over 1m3f at Kempton last time and Jeremy Noseda's filly doesn't have much to fear from today's opposition. Resourceful Miss has plenty to find with the selection and bumper winner Fair Loch has cut little ice on the Flat so far. Sir Tyto has also been well beaten in three starts on the level and the latest of Word Of Warning's three wins over hurdles came way back in 2010.
