A typical Beverley sprint handicap in which COLEY'S KOKO is taken to follow up a recent first career success at Musselburgh with a much-improved performance. She now steps up a level in grade to Class 5 but the manner of her victory was pretty taking and a similar effort would see her in the mix. Sound Reason is hard to assess on his handicap bow after landing a modest all-weather novice auction but should have plenty more to come after just three starts. Stable companion of the selection, It Just Takes Time, is respected off topweight and Secret Eagle, Exalted Leader and the recent Catterick second, Mokaman, are also noted in an open race.
