Verdict

COPPER AND FIVE is more than a stone lower in the weights than this time last season and shaped well with a recent run under his belt at Doncaster last time, so is fancied to score for the first time since September 2021. Little Jo is enjoying an Indian summer at the age of 9 but a 6 lb rise for winning a weak contest at Nottingham last week asks for more, whilst Menelaus is entitled to be sharper for his return and should prove competitive from this sort of mark.
