Forecasts

Copper Knight (11/8), Reflektor (11/2), Mokaatil (7/1), Fool For You (8/1), Camacho Chief (9/1), Growl (11/1), Spoof (14/1), Confessional (16/1), Lord Riddiford (16/1), Alfredo Arcano (16/1), Gold Filigree (20/1), Merhoob (22/1), Orvar (33/1)

Verdict

A wide-open renewal of the opener. Reflektor has course and distance form to his name and his draw (8) looks just about manageable. However, preference is for COPPER KNIGHT who ran with credit on his return in a decent race at Musselburgh and if he can come on for that run, he could prove to be the one to beat. Orvar looks capable of better at some stage and may be able to bounce back from a poor run last time out.
  1. Copper Knight
