COASTAL TIEP has some solid form to his name and can take this opening event for a stable who's horses are running well at present. The selection finished runner-up in a handicap over further on his penultimate outing and with the stiff finish likely to suit and his trainer having a 29% strike-rate recently he can take this. William Henry has run in some strong races so far including when placed in a Graded event here in January and he can claim second ahead of the first time hooded Azzerti.
