Verdict
Furkash is improving but HERE COMES MCCOY (NAP) already has decent form in the book having appreciated the step up to 2m4f when landing a maiden at Uttoxeter with more in hand than the official margin suggests. He may be able to give 6lb to Sizable Sam, who possibly didn’t quite get home when second over an extended 2m5f here on his hurdles bow but still finished ahead of Iron Mike. Roque It almost certainly needed his run at Uttoxeter and also lost a shoe, though the runner-up has disappointed since.
