Coe looks good to claim gold

OWNER Trevor Hemmings loves to have a winner at his local track and Coe can prove the apple of his eye with victory in Haydock’s feature race of the National Hunt season.

Hemmings teamed up with Coe’s trainer Sue Smith to bag the Blue Square Gold Cup with The Last Fling in 2000 and Coe looks the right type for this testing race.

The seven-year-old could be a fair way ahead of the handicapper and while he always looked a chaser in the making, it took him a while to get his eye in.
