In depth
Verdict
None of these are particularly reliable including likely favourite LE COEUR NET but Aidan Coleman’s mount is probably the one to beat as he has, at least, won a race recently. Exmoor Mist is 6lb lower than when second over track and trip in February so rates the danger with Smoking Dixie having changed stables since pulled up on his fencing bow in November. Fact Flow fared little better at Hereford in January.
