 MISTER COFFEY had some good efforts last season despite failing to score in five starts. The best of those was his second in March in the Kim Muir (3m 2f, soft), and he has previous for going well when fresh, having won twice on his seasonal bow over hurdles and first time out in a bumper. Trainer Nicky Henderson will anticipate him doing well here and he looks best placed for this under Nico de Boinville on these terms. Selection: Mister Coffey @ SP with BoyleSports 1.45pm Shloer Chase (Grade 2, 2m) This looks like a match between last year's winner Nube Negra and the Arkle winner EDWARDSTONE. For all that Dan Skelton's Nube Negra goes well fresh and is a quality operator on his day, the form of last year's success in this contest took a battering and he was well beaten in two runs after. He has to concede 3lb to Alan King's runner and it might be beyond him. The selection won five on the trot after being brought down last November when going well and he only found Gentleman De Mee too strong in an Grade 1 race at Aintree on his final start at the end of a busy season. This could be tactical and Edwardstone can come out on top. Selection: Edwardstone @ 8/11 with BoyleSports 2.20pm Jewson Handicap Chase (Premier Handicap, 3m 3f) Top-weight Does He Know didn't get beyond the first on his comeback at Ke){kind=link}
