In depth
Verdict
Coffin Dodger is taken to score in the opener with Digger Boy and Cool Isle rated as the main dangers. The selection finally managed to gain the winning thread when beating Keisha Kayleigh over this course and distance in this grade last time. That will have boosted her confidence and with conditions again in her favour she is taken to score. Digger Boy rates the main danger as he hails from a top yard and he has been running respectably in better grade than this. Cool Isle has plenty of ability but she has not yet sparkled since being upped in trip and she is probably best watched at present. Mujelle shaped encouragingly last time and may prove best of the remainder, but for the winner we will return to Coffin Dodger.
