Verdict

AP McCoy has got a tune out of FOLIE A DEUX in the past and Richard Newland's nine-year-old is fancied to come out on top dropped in distance here. The Fox's Decree may find this too tough, while trail-blazer Jeczmien is hard to catch right and may prefer a shorter trip. Tempting Paradise will be all the better for last month's fourth at Worcester, however, while Intac's penalty for a recent C&D win is wiped out by his jockey's claim and he should go well again.
