OUTRATH is Tony McCoy's only booked ride of the meeting which is a pointer in itself. The former wasn't beaten far when sixth over track and trip last week and can open his account. Kay Sera has gone close over course and distance but that was in February last year and Murray Mount may prove a bigger threat with a recent pipe-opener at Ludlow under his belt. Grande Vitesse is related to bumper and hurdles winners and is a newcomer to keep an eye on in the betting.
