Verdict
Uttoxeter winner PHARAON DE TOUZAINE appeared to down tools once in the clear at this track last time and was collared close home. Tony McCoy will be aware of that and John O'Shea's charge is unlikely to be caught napping this time. He'll probably start at restrictive odds to beat Allonby Bay, who was still beaten a long way despite finishing third at Fontwell recently and Mistic Academy, who was pulled up at Sedgefield on his return from over a year on the sidelines.
