This isn't much better than a seller and will take little winning. Coastguard has gone a while without winning and is beginning to slip down the weights. While this trip may be on the sharp side for him, he cannot be discounted at this level. Hi Lily, who has been running with credit in low grade handicaps, runs off the same mark as when chasing Tudor King home at Plumpton. She may be the main danger to Grand Ambition, who made a winning first appearance in this country when just holding on over course and distance in a Hunter chase last month. With Warren Marston taking over from an amateur, the seven-year-old could prove to be well in here off a mark of only 74.
