        Verdict

        COQUELICOT is unexposed on the Flat and scored with plenty to spare over 2m at Nottingham last week. A multiple winner over hurdles, this extra distance is within her compass and she’s preferred to Flint Hill. The latter won over track and trip last autumn and can race off the same mark today while Ghadbbaan scored over a shorter distance at Ripon in September but wouldn’t want any further rain. Both Military Two Step and Champagne City won off a similar marks last term.
