Verdict
It's interesting to note that AP McCoy has hung around to partner SILVER STIRRUP in this finale. A son of High Chaparral, he was significantly well backed on his debut in a Newbury bumper in March and wasn't unduly punished when it became obvious he wouldn't take a hand in the finish. This is far less competitive and Jonjo O'Neill's gelding, closely related to smart hurdler Won In The Dark, can open his account now. Book'Em Danno was favourite when fourth over C&D last time and should make his presence felt again, while newcomers Sun Cloud, Lucky Thumb and Richard Johnson's mount San Telm could be worth noting for future reference.
