Verdict
Balco Coastal changed hands for £100,000 last year having chased home a useful sort in his only start between the flags. Red Hot Radish has Flat speed in her pedigree and is another newcomer worth noting but fellow debutants Gold In Doha and Grangeclare Knight have already had an operation to help with their breathing. NINA THE TERRIER sets a decent standard, however, having won easily on debut at Doncaster and following that up with a fourth in a Listed race at Huntingdon.
