Wise Coco, Hooroo and Story Rory were all entered here last night so this might cut up. John McConnell’s runners here are always worth a market check but Pat's Pearl hasn’t raced since October. GUIDO RENI was beaten a length-and-a-half by Wise Coco here when last running over timber but would be 2lb better off with the winner if she takes part. Karl Thornton’s charge is preferred to Balranald, who has switched stables.
