Seen to better effect than a couple of her rivals when winning 5-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (9/1) 10 days ago, Vulnerable under a 5 lb penalty.

Improved last autumn for Kieran Patrick Cotter, winning soft-ground maiden at Bellewstown prior to finishing a close second on handicap debut at Naas. Seemingly found a third run in quick succession taking its toll on final outing and could well resume progress starting out for a shrewd yard.

Found some improvement in a first-time tongue strap when off the mark in 5-runner novice over C&D in December. Too free back up in trip on return to handicap company following month.

4/1
Successful (at Lingfield) twice from 4 starts since sent handicapping, deserving extra credit on second of them (5/2F) having never been far off the strong pace. 4 lb rise unlikely to prevent another big run 12 days on.

Not long with current yard and returned to form in refitted cheekpieces when second of 8 in C&D handicap in January. Excuses at Lingfield later in month.

Remains with just one win for the yard but ran respectably in refitted visor (left off again here) when fourth of 12 in 6f handicap at Southwell (9/2) last week. May find things happening a bit too quickly back at the minimum trip.

Forecasts

Arklow Lad (11/10), Thecoffeepoddotco (4/1), General Assembly (13/2), Middleton View (15/2), Mumayaz (8/1), Cressida Wildes (14/1), Fiorella Princess (28/1)

Verdict

THECOFFEEPODDOTCO has thrived since switched to handicaps and a 4 lb higher mark may not be enough to prevent her from following up a recent Lingfield success. Arklow Lad makes his debut for astute connections following a break and must enter calculations, with dual C&D winner General Assembly also respected.
