Verdict

COPPER KNIGHT has failed to build on his encouraging reappearance in 4 subsequent starts but it would be no surprise were he to bounce back having dipped to a career-low mark. The 9-y-o has most to fear from Glory Fighter, who did the job well in first-time cheekpieces at Catterick last month and an 8 lb rise may not be enough to prevent another bold bid. Khabib will also be a threat if ready to roll following a 3-month break.
