Keep an eye on Mark Bradstock's Coote Street in the betting after a major absence but PROFIT COMMISSION is worth another chance after failing to fire at Ffos Las on just his fourth start. He did not travel with the fluency exhibited on two previous outings and the Fry charge has a definite chance if returning to that level as well as housing scope for further progress. Shah Of Persia and Ruddy Article finished second and third at Newton Abbot behind Number One London and both look capable of picking up a staying maiden hurdle but this is a decent race for the grade and time of year as Magheral Express, Westerly Breeze and Tir Dubh have all shown enough to add flavour to a competitive contest.
