In depth
Verdict
Lack of a run this term is of some concern but Coeur de Lionne looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to open his account and gets the vote to do just that with the main threats looking to come from Aussie Cricket and Glentimon. The last mentioned is a half-brother to five winners and could be of interest on his debut; he makes more appeal than another newcomer Alexander Guru, who is not certain to stay this far. A market move for Just An Angel would be of interest but she is bred to want a softer surface so may be best watched. Aussie Cricket is a consistent performer and can again be expected to be thereabouts but preference is for Coeur de Lionne, who looks the most likely winner.
