Verdict

DOC MCCOY showed plenty in a trio of bumpers last season and, with the step up in trip sure to suit, he's taken to make a successful hurdling debut for a yard that has started the autumn well. Cape Vidal got his career back on track sent hurdling when runner-up at Plumpton in April and is open to improvement, with Bentley's Return another interesting contender.
