Verdict

COPAIN DE CLASSE was by no means foot-perfect when left to hack round alone in a match at Fontwell last month but he had earlier advertised his chasing potential when shaping well behind subsequent JLT Chase third Benatar at Ascot. Having won in testing conditions in France, today's ground will hold no fears for him and he is preferred to regular bridesmaid Kayf Blanco and Vocaliser.
