Captain Coke has had a great year and he's another who might come on for a recent Sandown outing (beaten by the re-opposing Italian Tom), whilst Oldjoesaid is well-handicapped but ultimately out of form. Marvellous Value should be cherry ripe on this third start of the year, the return to five furlongs will suit Noodles Blue Boy, but LUSCIVIOUS had his Southwell beating of Confessional franked in fine style by that horse at Haydock at the weekend and is selected accordingly, with the softening ground unlikely to faze. Frognal will probably need a suicidal pace if he is to win at this trip on this track, and a bigger threat could be the well-handicapped pair of Doric Lady and La Capriosa.
