Formscan By Stuart Howden - CINAMMON COCO has let down favourite-backers on both National Hunt starts so far, finishing fourth behind Something Noble at Killarney before going a place better in the Ballinrobe race won by Hopes Are High. Joseph O'Brien's gelding is in receipt of 6lb from those winners now, though, and can reward supporters who keep the faith. The penalised horses still merit the utmost respect, although Combs offered plenty of encouragement in a brief Flat career and is feared more.
