Coppull Hall Lane¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: E Bethell| D

7/2

Promising start when runner-up at Redcar in May. Didn't need to improve to go one place better in 8-runner maiden at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft, 8/13) 17 days ago, well on top finish. Should have more to offer.

Amsterdam²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Saffie Osborne| T: E Walker| BF

3/1

Mid-field effort on debut proved to be strong form and well backed, he found only a stablemate too good at Salisbury. Capable of better, particularly as stamina is drawn out.

Form: 6-2

Apotheosis³⁰

2/1

Promising sort. 28/1 and hooded, third of 13 in novice event at Kempton (7f) on debut 30 days ago, running on from an unpromising position. Will progress so he's a major player.

9/2

Promising type. Fourth of 10 in novice event at Doncaster (7f, good to firm, 18/1) 34 days ago, caught further back than ideal. May well do better so has to be taken very seriously.

Forecasts

Apotheosis (2/1), Amsterdam (3/1), Coppull Hall Lane (7/2), Surrey Shadow (9/2), Triumph Of Peace (14/1), Flight Radar (28/1), Brave Warrior (40/1), Kokinelli (40/1), Spring Festival (66/1), Laguna Boy (100/1)

In the hope the removal of a hood doesn't backfire, APOTHEOSIS is selected to build on a most-encouraging debut third at Kempton a month ago. Surrey Shadow was noted finishing with running left at Doncaster so he has to command respect, as do Coppull Hall Lane and Amsterdam in what could be a deep novice.
