In depth
Verdict
The booking of AP McCoy for Richard Fahey's newcomer REAI catches the eye here and this half-brother to five winners on the Flat can make the most of the weight he receives from Fontwell winner Cinders And Ashes. Bathcounty, placed at Exeter and Huntingdon, should play a part again if handling the switch in surface and the nicely-bred Somervell could be one for the future.
