In depth

Verdict

Billy Cuckoo won't mind the ground and was in good form prior to unseating his rider at Wetherby. Saddle Pack came back to form at Kelso but has shot up the weights as a result while On Broadway and Barnevelder are returning from winter breaks and the latter is having his first start for new connections. MASTER MILAN hasn't shown a great deal so far this season but is starting to slip down the weights again and AP McCoy, who was on board when he won at Ffos Las last spring, is back in the saddle today. He gets a tentative vote in this finale, though it would be no surprise to see Oil Burner put a poor run at Kelso behind him back here.
