Verdict

Mr Coco Bean is not easy to catch right, requiring the most patient of rides. He doesn't win too often these days but cannot be ruled out if everything drops right here off his steadily declining mark. He does have to give a stone though to a truly in-form type in DETECTIVE, who has compiled an excellent record here on three starts since late May and was always controlling affairs when winning with plenty in hand last time over 1m1f. He is hard to oppose off a mark of just 55. Zoravan has finished behind the selection twice this term but could prove troublesome at the revised weights. He certainly appeals as an each-way option with Photograph and Lenny's Spirit also noted.
