Copperhead (3/1), Moving In Style (9/2), Cobolobo (5/1), Polydora (6/1), Boughtbeforelunch (8/1), Indy Five (9/1), Strong Pursuit (10/1), Forgot To Ask (14/1), Antony (33/1), Goodnight Charlie (33/1)

Verdict

Not the race it used to be in the past but still a reasonable handicap chase and one that should take a good performance to win. COPPERHEAD looks one of the most progressive in the field overcoming early mishaps at Wincanton last time to run out a ready winner looking as though he could improve even further despite the rise in the weights and grade. Cobolobo, much happier in a tongue-tie ploughed through testing conditions to win at Haydock and despite a 7lb rise he looks one of the main dangers. Forgot To Ask will need to improve but caught the eye at Taunton last time whilst Moving In Style can be given a chance along with Indy Five who despite his form figures could outrun his price.
  1. Copperhead
  2. Cobolobo
  3. Forgot To Ask
