Verdict

THECOFFEEPODDOTCO has thrived since switched to handicaps and a 4 lb higher mark may not be enough to prevent her from following up a recent Lingfield success. Arklow Lad makes his debut for astute connections following a break and must enter calculations, with dual C&D winner General Assembly also respected.

2	Improved last autumn for Kieran Patrick Cotter, winning soft-ground maiden at Bellewstown prior to finishing a close second on handicap debut at Naas. Seemingly found a third run in quick succession taking its toll on final outing and could well resume progress starting out for a shrewd yard. 2nd Pick 2 Arklow Lad (Ire) Jockey: Jason Watson Trainer: Michael Appleby J: Jason Watson T: Michael Appleby	100	-	-	-	63%
