Racing Post verdict

Third-party

The Coffee Pod heads the market on our figures and drops back to the 5f trip that suits, with the first-time hood potentially helping the settling issues that have hampered her over longer. The key dangers are Startling, who ran a close second at Southwell just a week ago off this mark and is with a trainer in form, Over Spiced, who is consistent and was third last time at the same weight, and Bang On The Bell, who bounced back at Nottingham. Our selection is The Coffee Pod.
