Formscan - A step up in trip over fences brought out a much-improved performance from Uttoxeter scorer HERE COMES MCCOY last month. An 8lb rise appears to be workable for the nine-year-old and he looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to follow up. Hauraki Gulf could only muster a third-placed finish at Exeter on his latest outing, but a return to this level should see him prove more competitive, with last-time-out winner No Tackle completing the shortlist.
