Verdict

COCONUT COVE has shaped promisingly in both starts to date, finishing second on debut before an eye-catching third at Goodwood when still very green but keeping on well. First-time hood could help her settle better for this all-weather bow. Return of the Gods is an appealing newcomer on paper (cost £350,000 as a yearling also), Manly Fireball showed improvement when third at Lingfield recently and he, along with Watchdog also make each-way appeal.
