Tindaro should strip fitter for his third at Stratford. Engai deserves respect after coming good again at that track last month while Jonjo O'Neill saddles April's course and distance winner The Nephew. But McCoy prefers ABLE DEPUTY from the in-form Kim Bailey yard and the seven-year-old looks the one to beat having readily seen off Perth scorer Ut Majeur Aulmes in this grade at Fakenham at the start of the month. Bullet Street has ability but is still climbing the weights, despite not winning.
