Verdict
All but one of Award Winner's wins have been achieved with McCoy in the saddle and the champ is on duty at Newbury today. Barrakilla steps out of novice company for the first time but must have a decent chance of adding to his victory at Market Rasen against largely out-of-form rivals. LE BACARDY has won five times over hurdles in his native France, however, his most recent success coming at Cagnes-sur-mer in December. Tony Carroll hasn't pitched him in at the deep end here and he may well have enough class to make a winning UK debut though Hassadin is edging closer to a first success outside of selling company. Bound For Glory has scope but may need this.
