Forecasts

Copshill Lad (5/2), Nibras Gold (11/4), Coolnaugh Haze (9/2), Cabrakan (9/2), Fat Sam (9/1), Byzantine Empire (10/1), Thahab Ifraj (22/1), Lucky Lover Boy (28/1), Pop The Champagne (33/1)

COOLNAUGH HAZE showed improved form when making a winning debut for James Owen in August and wasn't beaten too far from a much higher mark at Southwell last time, so he appeals as the most solid proposition ahead of Cabrakan, who is more than capable from this kind of mark provided his jumping holds up, whilst Copshill Lad is also intriguing on his second handicap start.
