Verdict

Only four runners in this opener but three of them look to have a decent chance. A P McCoy, fresh from his fastest-ever century, has a couple of interesting rides for Donald McCain and BESPOKE LADY can get the ball rolling. The drying ground is an unknown but she might appreciate the slightly shorter trip having failed to last home over 3m1f last time. Ussee is proving difficult to place and the winner let down the form of her latest second at Southwell next time but Bonne Fee arrives off the back of a win at Bangor, though was an expensive flop over track and trip in May. Asuncion may find a couple too good again.
