Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Sanderson⁽⁷⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 60

Dual winner over 7f at Newcastle but well beaten on three previous attempts at this trip and more needed than when finishing seventh of ten on his return from a break at Newcastle at the end of November.

Successful ten times in all and his sole AW victory came over this C&D in November 2016. Races off a 3lb higher mark today and ran well to finish third off this mark over 7f here last time.

Mr Coco Bean²⁸

6/4

Nine race maiden and put in a career best effort when making his debut for this stable in a maiden handicap over C&D a month ago. Likely more to come and one for the shortlist in this contest.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: N Mackay| T: Suzzanne France| OR: 58| BF| CD

5/1

Placed over C&D the last twice including when having Swot behind him when finishing second last time out. Form of that looks decent and he is one to note in this contest.

General Tufto^b¹¹

Age: 13| Weight: 8-9| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Smith| OR: 48| CD

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: Shelley Birkett⁽³⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 48| CD

Monzino³

Age: 10| Weight: 8-7| J: Phil Dennis⁽³⁾| T: M C Chapman| OR: 45| C

Forecasts

Mr Coco Bean (6/4), Luath (5/1), Swot (7/1), Best Tamayuz (7/1), Mimic's Memory (8/1), Gunner Moyne (9/1), Barista (16/1), General Tufto (16/1), Limerick Lord (16/1), Boketto (25/1), Star Links (25/1), Moving Robe (33/1), Justice Pleasing (40/1), Monzino (66/1)

LUATH can go one better than when finishing runner-up over C&D a month ago by taking this concluding 1m handicap. Both of the selections previous wins have come here including off a 1lb lower mark here in April. Mr Coco Bean put in a good effort in a handicap restricted to maidens last time out and with more improvement likely he can claim second today whilst the first time blinkered Swot can take third today.
