In depth

Verdict

Sands Cove may well have won at Exeter on his penultimate start but for falling two out but didn't run as well at Taunton subsequently. BOBCATBILLY did very well to score at Ludlow then almost defied an 8lb weight rise on his next start there. A P McCoy takes the ride for the first time and Ian Williams' charge can get back on the winning trail. Jonjo O'Neill's Presence Felt makes his debut over fences though he's scored between the flags but dual winning hurdler Supreme Asset appears to have plenty of weight for what he's achieved so far over fences.
