GIN COCO looked an improved model and made light of a 17-month absence with ease when scoring on yard debut at Fontwell back in March. It's interesting connections pitch him in here on handicap debut, and with further progress distinctly possible, he can make another bold bid. Recent Fairyhouse scorer Ideal Pal, Luke Short and Hide And Seek are others fancied to be firmly in the mix.
