A bad mistake at the last may have cost HERE COMES MCCOY (3) when returning to action at Uttoxeter in December. Remains unexposed as a staying chaser and could have more to offer now stretching out further in trip. LADY BALKO (1) was tailed off attempting a Listed chase at Newbury recently. Progressive in handicaps prior and cannot be written off back down in grade. Stamina will pose no problems for SAINT XAVIER (13) who must be included after a battling success in a Class Two handicap chase on testing ground at Haydock. MAJOR DUNDEE (2) and CHRISTOPHER WOOD (8) are others to note in this competitive fences handicap.
