Give Me A Copper^t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 146| BF| D

1/3

Smart hurdler who won twice in that discipline last season. Blotted his copybook on chase debut at Kelso last month when unshipping his pilot on the flat between the first two fences. Will be very tough to beat given a clear round this time.

Form: 11/161-U

Three Ways^t²³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| BF| D

5/2

Useful hurdler who scored over 3m½f (good to soft) at Doncaster in the spring from a mark of 129. Not seen since well beaten at Bangor in March. Should be well prepped for this chase debut, but tough task on his hands if his opponent completes.

Form: F/45418-

Forecasts

Give Me A Copper (1/3), Three Ways (5/2)

It is a shame that only two turn up for this and although his chase debut would have proved costly for some punters when he unseated on the flat as the 30/100 favourite, GIVE ME A COPPER is given the vote to get it right this time with 11lb to spare over Three Ways on official ratings.
