In depth

Verdict

David O'Meara will be keen to win with Coin Broker for such high-profile owners and the Montjeu filly ran well enough on reappearance on the heavy when a good second at Beverley to suggest she's more than capable of landing a prize off an opening handicap mark of 68. Inhabiting the same mark is THATCHEREEN who houses a rather inconsistent form profile to date but who also has delivered two efforts of promise which bode well for her future prospects. She caught the eye last time at Newmarket in handicap company when coming with a steady late run to grab the minor placing after perhaps a not particularly positive ride. The capable Louis Steward claims a valuable 5lb which may be sufficient to swing things in her favour here. Polar Eyes has fair claims on her handicap debut whilst Maiden Approach and Lady Red Oak should both come on for their respective reappearances and are respected at the foot of the handicap.
