Forecasts

Ana Emaraaty (2/1), Copper Mountain (10/3), Maraakiz (9/2), Retirement Beckons (7/1), Eva Rosie (10/1), Capernoity (10/1), Mr Coco Bean (12/1), Fulltime (50/1), Knight Of Magic (80/1)

COPPER MOUNTAIN has had excuses since winning a similar event at Southwell, including when fourth behind Retirement Beckons and Ana Emaraaty over this C&D on Friday, so is worth another chance. With Retirement Beckons penalised this time, Ana Emaraaty may emerge as the main threat.
