Verdict

Coachella Green has improved since graduating to handicaps and must have decent claims in a race like this. Banana Joe finished second in a point in November and third on his first run for Henry Daly at Taunton, his best effort to date under Rules. Just Go For It was in the front rank when falling here last month but OUTISAID was ahead of a subsequent dual winner when third at Chepstow in November and can take this if ready after a break.
