Verdict
Sacchoandvanzetti has flattered to deceive so far since joining Fergal O’Brien but is still likely to be among the favourites for this. Front View is still way below his best but Bon Retour was third on heavy going at Carlisle, though prefers a quicker surface. HERE COMES MCCOY, the only course winner in the line-up, is the pick of Olly Murphy’s trio on jockey bookings. He thrives on soft ground so is more likely than most to handle today’s conditions.
