COCO DES CHAMPS will do better when faced with a set of hurdles but she showed promise on her racecourse debut when fifth at Fontwell, ahead of Blackdown Hills, and should be good enough to take advantage of the 7lb she receives from Bengali. David Pipe's mare won at Sedgefield in September but was then beaten 20 lengths under a penalty in a modest affair at Worcester. Belle De Londres disappointed at Bangor in May while Bufflers Holt has a staying pedigree.
