Tony McCoy gets the leg-up on SUNDOWN TRAIL for the first time and the Sedgefield winner can return to winning ways. He had a subsequent winner behind when third at the same track last time and is just preferred to Pyjama Game, who has shown enough to suggest he'll be winning at this level sooner rather than later. Glaced Over posted her best effort over timber so far when third at Sedgefield last May but hasn't raced since. C&D winner Political Paddy went close a Newcastle last month, however, and Four Fiddlers has outside claims under Lucy Alexander.
