Tony McCoy steered ONE TERM to both of his wins in bumpers and is back on board for the first time since. The latter has been placed a couple of times over timber and this looks a good opportunity to get off the mark. Battlecat went close at Newton Abbot last time but Brick Red's recent second at Huntingdon to Sonoran Sands looks stronger form and the latter also makes more appeal than Clarion Call and Early Applause. Seventh Sky would find himself in contention with a repeat of January's effort at Ffos Las, though he's been well beaten in both subsequent starts.
