None of these find winning easy but Sarah-Jayne Davies has done well to secure the services of A P McCoy and hopefully the champion can finally cajole or drive - or both - CAPISCI into finally putting his head in front after a sequence of placed efforts in similar company. Mac's Grey plodded round to pick up place money behind Key To Milan at Newton Abbot last week but is 3lb wrong here and Red Whisper is nominated as a likelier danger. He does have a win under his belt this year when scoring at Towcester in the spring, has dropped a couple of pounds for his latest run, albeit behind Capisci, and gets on well with 7lb-claimer Jake Hodson.
