Points winner Doc McCoy hasn’t been beaten far at Bangor and Southwell this season but Bhaloo hasn’t run since an eye-catching effort at Kempton a little under a year ago. MR HOPE STREET wasn’t given a hard time when fourth at Exeter last month. The third went close at Kempton on Saturday so the form looks decent. Hey Brother has point-to-point experience while Indeevar Bleu, a half-brother to winning hurdler and chaser Kapard, should be monitored for any market support.
