COQOLINO showed plenty when second on his sole start in bumpers and ran to a fairly useful level when filling the same spot on hurdles bow at Galway last month. The type to progress, he can go one place better. There is strength in opposition however, headed up by Fighter Allen, and hurdles-debutants Idas Boy and Getaway Pat.
