George Fernbeck is Flat-bred so it would be no surprise to see Kevin Ryan's gelding in the firing-line in this newcomers' race. But Newmarket trainer Don Cantillon boasts a 50 per cent strike rate with his bumper horses at this track and saddles a couple of likely sorts today. Military Man is by Dubai Destination but AP McCoy gets the leg up on THIS IS ME, who is a half-brother to a bumper winner and from the same family as Triumph Hurdle winner Shawiya. He gets the nod as this will surely be too sharp for the stoutly-bred Icanseeclearlynow.
