ILLICO DE COTTE shaped very promisingly in coming well clear with another in a modestly-run event at Lingfield on his hurdling debut last month and looks destined for better things on that evidence, so he's put forward as the answer with this stiffer test expected to suit. Shanagh Bob landed a weak race under a no-nonsense ride at Plumpton and is open to stacks of improvement, while Ruth Jefferson's Kerryhill impressed at Kelso and shouldn't be taken lightly in these deeper waters.
