Verdict

COSI BELLO showed plenty in 4 runs last season and has both a pedigree and physique to suggest there should be more to come from him as a 4-y-o, so he's taken to make a successful return to action. Great Acclaim probably needed the run in the Lincoln at Doncaster and is interesting back in headgear, with Khafiz another to note setting out for a yard amongst the winners.

9	Built on cosy debut success when making it 2-2 in impressive fashion at Kempton (7f) in May, a performance backed up by the clock. Better form in defeat in a pair of handicaps later in the year and retains a good deal of potential after just 4 career starts. 1st Pick 9 Cosi Bello Jockey: Paddy Bradley Trainer: Charlie Fellowes J: Paddy Bradley T: Charlie Fellowes	98	-	-	-	34%

5	Reacted really well to blinkers last summer, winning at Goodwood and Chepstow before running 3 crackers in defeat in strong handicaps at Goodwood and Ascot (all 7f). Probably needed the run when down the field in the Lincoln at Doncaster on his return and of some interest with headgear refitted. 2nd Pick 5 Great Acclaim Jockey: Charles Bishop Trainer: Eve Johnson Houghton J: Charles Bishop T: Eve Johnson Houghton	100	-	-	-	15%

6	Twice a winner in novice company for Roger Varian last season. Has shown some quirks but got back on the up when third in 7f handicap at Doncaster on final outing in October. Sold for 85,000 gns subsequently and now sets out for a new stable very much amongst the winners. 3rd Pick 6 Khafiz (Ire) Jockey: Callum Rodriguez Trainer: Edward Bethell J: Callum Rodriguez T: Edward Bethell	97	-	-	-	23%
