GOVERNMENT CALL scored in ready style at Sandown earlier in the month and with this step up to 6f looking a big plus he is taken to defy a 4 lb penalty in this fair juvenile novice. The Coffee Pod rates a big threat though if, as expected, building on his debut third at Nottingham. Tropical Island has the form to play a part and needs factoring in too.

The Coffee Pod (Ben Curtis)
I was delighted with his first run at Nottingham where he really got the hang of things late on. That experience will have done him the world of good and he comes here with a very strong chance.

The end of the race was shown on ITV 1 as
they were showing the next race at Ripon, and commented on the close finish, so The Coffee Pod was on the main channel.
