Forecasts

La Petite Coco (4/9), Max Mayhem (4/1), Kalapour (13/2), Espouse (7/1), Talacre (9/1)

LA PETITIE COCO has progressed with each start to date, meeting with interference late on when a keeping-on second in a Naas listed event (10f) 3 weeks ago. She may yet have more to offer as her stamina is drawn out further and earns the vote. 4-y-o Kalapour may emerge as the chief threat, ahead of Espouse who also steps up in trip.
