A P McCoy discarded MORE OF THAT in favour of At Fisher's Cross in the World Hurdle at Cheltenham in March and won't have been pleased to see Barry Geraghty steer the six-year-old to a surprise victory. He's back on board Jonjo O'Neill's classy stayer in this and the partnership should take all the beating. Medinas was well behind at Cheltenham and no match for Cole Harden here four weeks ago. Warren Greatrex' five-year-old is still improving and rates a threat but Lac Fontana will have his stamina to prove over this trip having been put in his place by Faugheen at Ascot last week. It's difficult to see any of the remaining trio getting involved.
