Handicap | Flat | 5f
Sports Coach
Lots with chances but SPORTS COACH has slipped to a good mark and hinted at a revival when eighth in a big-field York handicap last time so gets the vote. Recent Newmarket scorer Ancient State heads the list of dangers turned out under a 5 lb penalty, although Miss Rainbow, Irish Nectar and Call To Action all need factoring in too.
