CHURCH FIELD provided AP McCoy with his first winner back from injury when obliging at Ludlow and the combination can follow up here. Good ground and a sharp track seem ideal ingredients for the O'Neill inmate who can defy an 11lb rise in the weights and complete the hat-trick. Bunratty, engaged at Wetherby on Thursday evening, is a consistent performer who should not be ruled out if taking his chance here, whilst Fitandproperjob is another to take into account after a much-improved effort here last time. It will be interesting to see how he goes on this follow-up attempt under a penalty whilst Combustible Kate enters the equation after her best run since joining Nick Kent from Henry De Bromhead when a very close second here last time.
