Verdict
This is much more interesting than the first division. AP McCoy hangs around to ride WILD WEST for Jonjo and the patience should be rewarded. Just touched off by Wintered Well at Market Rasen, that winner is quite well regarded and compensation awaits. According To Trev won a point-to-point in Ireland last October and a Folkestone bumper on his first start for new connections in February. He's from a strong jumping family and is the type to go on to better things. Earth Tremor had some decent form over timber for Edward O'Grady in Ireland and Tim Vaughan will be expecting to get races out of him sooner rather than later.
