In depth

Verdict

PECKHAMECHO was a very progressive sort over hurdles last autumn, running the smart Molotof to a length-and-a-half at Ascot last December, and is likely to start a short price to make a winning start to his chase career with McCoy on board. Secret World is already a nine-year-old and more exposed but is probably the danger if he takes to the larger obstacles as Dave Richards' mare Another Kate is going to need more of a stamina test than she'll get today. Stephen's Green will find easier opportunities in the future but Dolatulo has already run three times over fences in France, though doesn't look a world-beater.
