Here Comes McCoy^t³⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 122

5/2

Low-mileage 9-y-o who made an inauspicious start over fences but produced a career-best back chasing when a clear-cut winner at Uttoxeter in January. Big shout up 8 lb.

Form: U33-331

Storminhome^p³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Kielan Woods| T: B Pauling| OR: 120| BF| D

5/4

Winning pointer/hurdler who got back on track in first-time cheekpieces when second of 8 in handicap chase at Doncaster (19.1f, good to soft) 36 days ago. Can go well again with headgear again sported.

Form: 23-2742

Coconut Splash³²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: H Cobden| T: Evan Williams| OR: 118| D

7/2

Useful chaser at his best, but remains without a win in this sphere and only a fair third of 8 in handicap chase at Ffos Las (23.8f, heavy) 32 days ago. Possibilities off a 2 lb lower mark.

Form: B-P3343

Oscar Robertson³⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-2| J: Charlie Hammond| T: N Kent| OR: 116| D

6/1

Scored at Wetherby in 2021 for Tom George and back from a long absence with creditable fourth placings at Leicester and Doncaster this winter. Shortlisted.

Forecasts

Storminhome (5/4), Here Comes McCoy (5/2), Coconut Splash (7/2), Patroclus (4/1), Oscar Robertson (6/1)

HERE COMES MCCOY has been hiked up 8 lb for his Uttoxeter success but had plenty left in the tank there so still looks the way to go. Recent Doncaster second Storminhome appeals as the main danger to Olly Murphy's consistent 9-y-o ahead of veteran Oscar Robertson.
