Verdict
A nice little race here with many pointers likely to be provided for later in the season. Tony McCoy rides You're Agoodun. Highly tried and probably done few favours by the handicapper, he does at least go well fresh and he shouldn't be written off on Saturday. The lightly raced Moor Lane is sure to be well supported. An emphatic jumper, he produced a rare poor run at Aintree last season but he isn't quite as well handicapped as he once was. A chance is taken with Supreme Charm and he is tentatively given as the TEAMtalk selection. Kim Bailey's ten-year-old is consistent in this grade and if the rain stays away, he has every chance of making a winning reappearance. Infrasonique should improve for a recent outing at Wetherby. Audacter ran well at Kempton but lacks experience in this company over the larger obstacles and is avoided. Mr Markham is on a long losing run over fences while Amberleigh House is not sure to be suited by today's track.
