Coco Mademoiselle – 1.13pm Cheltenham

Flag: Horse in focus, top ratedHot Trainer

A case can be made for most of these, but it’s still hard to argue against Coco Mademoiselle who looks set to start life in handicaps on a very good note and can go one better than her promising chase debut Worcester, after which she was awarded the Horse In Focus flag.

A well topped mare who won the second of her two starts in Irish points, Coco Mademoiselle showed reasonably serviceable form over hurdles but quickly looked to improve when a promising second to Hometown Boy in a novice chase at Worcester on his chasing debut, edged only close at home.

A strong traveler who remains 3m, she should have raced as suited here, now falls in turn thanks to the likely strong pace set by So Said I, Getbazoutofhere and Malaita. She is open to improvement in terms of fencing for her shapely yard and has strong conformation requirements in any case and is a safe selection.
