Verdict
Last seen finishing down the field in the Coral Cup at Cheltenham in March, COKO BEACH is the best of these over hurdles by some way. He’ll likely prove a warm order on his chasing debut and gets the vote. Daybreak Boy looks next best on hurdling form though failed to get involved on his chasing bow at Killarney while Foxy Jacks got no further than the third fence before unseating at Limerick. Coral Blue struggled in a beginners' chase at Kilbeggan while Master Of De Style and The Inbetween have shown little so far.
