It's a long time since My Condor showed any worthwhile form and Another Trump hasn't done enough lately to suggest he's about to take advantage of a tumbling mark, though A P McCoy rides this course better than anyone. Pumboo, The Grey One and Dr Anubis all only found one too good last time while Guns Of Love won at Huntingdon in August. BENNYS QUEST was only fourth that day but had earlier had Robin Dickin's charge well behind over this C&D and has finished second at Newton Abbot since. Peter Carberry takes off 5lb again today and Andy Hobbs' nine-year-old can get the better of his old rival and land this.
