The Coffee Pod¹¹

Forecasts

Connie's Rose (2/1), So Smart (9/4), The Coffee Pod (9/4), Some Nightmare (5/1), Secret Handsheikh (6/1), Moe's Legacy (14/1), Joy Choi (16/1), Willingly (22/1)

THE COFFEE POD took a step back in the right direction when third at Windsor recently and he looks the most likely winner of this. If there is one to beat him, it may well be Connie's Rose, who failed to fire last time but was close up in back-to-back sprint handicaps here prior to that. Secret Handsheikh is also considered.
