Coqueta^p,t1²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: L Morris| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 65

6/1

20/1, creditable second of 12 in handicap at Kempton (16f) 21 days ago, very much having run of race. Tongue strap on 1st time. Running consistently well, so warrants respect in a race of this nature.

7/2

Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Southwell (24.3f, good, 14/1) 23 days ago. Good effort at Chelmsford before that, having won twice at Lingfield, and can go well.

Bird For Life (11/4), Aleatoric (7/2), Party Planner (9/2), Coqueta (6/1), Stormy Night (11/1), Thawry (14/1), Tigray (16/1), Bartholomew J (16/1), Cold Harbour (18/1), Pour Joie (28/1), Novel Idea (33/1), Juriste (50/1), Mister Parma (50/1)

ALEATORIC bumped into one when second at Chelmsford on his latest Flat outing and, despite being pulled up over hurdles subsequently, he's worth a chance to get back to winning ways in a race that lacks depth. Bird For Life is an obvious player if she doesn't lose too much ground at the start, while Coqueta could be hard to peg back if allowed her own way in front.
