In depth
Verdict
Innoko has been in good form though at a lower level and has to concede 7lb to the progressive KING'S COINAGE. Ed Walker's charge won a Chelmsford handicap in October and reappeared with an encouraging run at Nottingham where he was staying on over that 1m2f. He can go one better though another lightly-raced type, Knight Destroyer, made a very promising return to action when runner-up over the track and trip last month so looks a real threat. Rahmah hasn't won in 15 starts on Turf while Petrify, a winner at Bath early last month, couldn't handle a 4lb rise on a return visit three weeks later.
