Verdict

It's two years since CRANNAGHMORE BOY last tasted victory but Tony McCoy was the man aboard the horse that scuppered his bid a fortnight ago, and it looks significant that the champion jockey has elected to take the mount today. Chandlers Cross is a prolific winner in point-to-points, and he finally got off the mark under Rules with a victory at Uttoxeter. A 7lb penalty is the only reaction open to the assessor although the second in the race has let the form down at the weekend. Nothingbutthetruth produced his best effort for some time at Fontwell in May so his subsequent effort at Ffos Las has to be regarded as a disappointment. Safe Investment stays further than this and he may just need the run as this will be his first appearance on the racecourse since October.
