SHADY MCCOY is usually held up for a late surge so a high draw may not inconvenience. He finished ahead of Above The Rest and Heaven's Guest when not beaten far in the Victoria Cup at Ascot and was a couple of lengths ahead of Mutawathea when fourth at Goodwood last time. Get Knotted was placed over track and trip three weeks ago while Gurkha Friend landed a double at Ripon earlier and went close again on his latest start. Theodorico bids for a hat-trick off a 12lb higher mark and is upped in class along with the other recent winners Fingal's Cave, Burnt Sugar and Reputation but Salateen could go well at the top of the weights.
