Verdict
Mister Coffey is 0-5 over fences but has run some fine races in defeat. Gustavian has also proved hard to place, as has Oscar Elite, but Ree Okka still has time on his side as does DALAMOI. The latter beat subsequent winner Quick Wave on his debut over the larger obstacles and was clear of the remainder when just beaten by Enzo D’Airy here subsequently. Both of the latter pair could advertise his form earlier on the card. Super Survivor made a promising start over fences at Uttoxeter last month so can’t be ignored.
