Verdict
COAL STOCK will have to defy a further 8lb rise to complete the four-timer but is probably improving fast enough to do so. Gaelik Coast didn’t show much back over hurdles at Kelso while Tulin was last returning from a break at Newton Abbot but the penny has dropped with Nazwa, though he only won a match at Huntingdon last time. Petit Palais is preferred to Faint Hope of the others.
