In depth

Verdict

Several of these have chances including Anglicisme, Leo McGarry and Old Peak Road but it is hard to get away from Tony McCoy's mount SYNCHRONISED, who can take his pilot even closer to the career winning rides mark of 3,000. Jonjo O'Neill's gelding won with any amount in hand at Wincanton last week in a conditional jockeys' contest that he escapes a penalty for and he is hard to oppose racing off the same mark today. Old Peak Road was not surprisingly outclassed by Punchestowns at Cheltenham in November but showed his true worth when chasing home I'm The Decider at Ludlow last month, form on which he has to be considered. Recent Uttoxeter selling winner Anglicisme and Leo McGarry, who drops back slightly in trip and ran well on his reappearance, are others to consider along with Fakenham winner Snake Charmer. Synchronised has an obvious chance though and is hard to oppose.
