Brendan Powell has booked AP McCoy to ride his Fontwell winner Stock Hill Fair and the partnership should be thereabouts, despite a penalty. But there was a lot to like about SAUDI PEARL's debut fourth at Bangor and Alan King's half-brother to four Flat winners gets the vote today. Paul Nicholls' debutant Scary Canary is sure to be popular but Staigue Fort probably needs to improve on his two runs so far if he's to make the frame.
