Verdict
OPERATEUR has won four times on the Flat this year and was only beaten a length by Saint Helena on his latest start over hurdles. A 6lb higher mark is a slight worry but McCoy takes the reins and it will be a surprise if he's not involved at the business end. Tennessee Bird ran a well-handicapped rival close here earlier in the month while Jawahal Du Mathan finished ahead of the selection and Auto Mac here in July and was just starting to challenge when falling at Worcester next time. Stratford third Movementneverlies may be best of the rest.
