        Verdict

        SNAKE EYES cost Mrs Magnier 105,000 euros at the sales last year and is out of the very smart hurdler and chaser Be My Belle, who also won a bumper. He is fancied to make a winning debut under McCoy getting 10lb from Nick Gifford's Fontwell winner Utopian. Huntingdon winner Theatrelands was taking on decent opposition at Ascot last month while Lord Of The Dunes should improve on his C&D third. Don Cantillon does well with his bumper horses so a market move for the Flat-bred On Command would be interesting, though he was a relatively cheap purchase.
