Verdict

Every one of these needs excuses to be accepted before they can be backed, but the handicapper has handed out a few lifelines, not least to KING'S COINAGE, who has dropped 10lb for two completed handicap starts, and is well treated on the form he showed last season. He gets a rather tentative pick ahead of Pistol, who knows how to win and may have benefited from a recent breathing operation. Dianne Sayer has a pair of whom Calliope makes most appeal, but the market will be revealing.
  1. King's Coinage
  2. Pistol
  3. Calliope
