Verdict
Jonjo O'Neill landed last year's renewal and BANDIT COUNTRY can follow suit. The latter finished runner-up at Chepstow on his recent return to action and can go one better in this with McCoy taking over the reins. Uisge Beatha also went close on his reappearance at Hexham and should be in the mix. He's preferred to Mount Beckham, who didn't fare too badly here on his hurdling bow. Bumper winner Otago Trial makes his hurdling debut in this along with Duncomplaining and point-to-point winner Carryonregardless.
