In depth
Verdict
The booking of Tony McCoy for JANUARY rather stands out for this representative from a shrewd yard. He hasn't scored since landing a maiden hurdle for Ted Walsh in 2008 but he didn't shape too badly on his most recent outing for his old yard over fences at Wexford. He's changed hands cheaply since then and Alan Fleming hasn't had very long to work with him but any market support would clearly heighten interest in his chances. If the market support fails to materialise then the in-form Misamon may be the one to profit with Blast The Past and Post It others capable of making their presence felt.
