Verdict
DOC MCCOY won at Huntingdon on last month’s hurdling debut and can defy a penalty in this company. Got Your Back has form in bumpers and makes his hurdling bow for a new yard while Bugise Seagull debuts under Rules having placed between the flags. Desert Quest has won four times on the Flat and but the remainder have shown little so far.
