Bow Strada hails from a stable in outstanding form and can get off the mark for the season. The five-year-old put up a fine performance when a close second to the high-regarded Starts Out Tonight at Exeter two outings ago. Despite, not appearing a natural over fences, McCoy will make the difference in the saddle. The moderate opposition is headed by Cobbet who created a favourable impression on his chasing debut at Cheltenham and will appreciate this easier course. Chasing debutant Uncle Wallace will improve upon some fair efforts over hurdles but the others cannot be strongly fancied. TEAMtalk's selection is Bow Strada.
