JOHNS SPIRIT could notch a quick double for Jonjo O'Neill and AP McCoy as he was just touched off on his racecourse debut at Towcester in May. Hold The Fort wasn't disgraced on his introduction at Uttoxeter, however, and Magic In Motion was sent off favourite here last time, though well beaten. Billy Cuckoo has shown some promise but newcomer Zagreb Express may be a bigger threat as he's from the same family as winning Bumpers Lough Derg Way and Rainbows Aglitter.
