In depth
Verdict
Tony McCoy renews his partnership with Ambry who is fairly treated having landed a handicap here last month but has shown all his best form with more cut in the ground than he'll encounter on this occasion. Heracles looked a useful prospect when recording back to back Kempton novice wins over a year ago but has struggled since and was particularly disappointing last time. Fare dealing has more on his plate with a 7lb penalty for his Plumpton success. Course and distance winner Native New Yorker returns from a seven-month absence but Star Of Wonder is capable of improvement on her handicap bow while Inducement has dropped down to a most attractive mark and showed that he was on the way back last time.
