Mr Coco Bean¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Connor Beasley| T: T D Barron| OR: 71| CD

7/1

3-time C&D winner. 12/1, below form eighth of 14 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, good) 16 days ago, not knocked about. Should strip fitter for that and mark is appealing.

7/2

Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1, excellent fourth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 58 days ago, never nearer. More to come, so can make presence felt.

9/1

12/1

Twenty two runs since last win in 2017. First run since leaving Ruth Carr when respectable third of 13 in handicap (10/3) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 45 days ago, having to weave through. Respected.

10/3

Lightly-raced maiden. 3/1, below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good). Off 6 months. Has the potential to do better as a 4-y-o and stable going well.

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Jason Hart| T: T Davidson| OR: 60

4/1

Latest win at Newcastle in January. 7/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 14 days ago. Potentially well in from much lower turf mark.

Form: 217-123

22/1

Form: 227-382

Strong Team⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 8-7| J: Shane Gray| T: C Grant| OR: 55

125/1

Form: 5779

(6)

Seaborough²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-5| J: Jamie Gormley| T: D Thompson| OR: 53| BF

50/1

Unreliable type. One win from 25 Flat runs. Fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle (12/1) at Sedgefield (16.8f, soft) 27 days ago. Modest on the Flat. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 5659-38

MR COCO BEAN drops in grade and returns to his ideal circumstances (3-time C&D winner) having shaped as if he'd come on for his reappearance at Doncaster, so he makes plenty of appeal for all it's an open race. Will Sommers is a danger on reappearance for an in-form yard, while Greengage can't be dismissed from her lower turf mark.
