Forecasts
Hover On The Wind (7/4), Copper Knight (5/2), Protest Rally (11/4), Ancient Times (6/1), Refuge (14/1)
All 5 of these arrive in excellent order but COPPER KNIGHT is a very straightforward ride for an apprentice and from stall 1, it's easy enough to construct a case for the veteran making all. Hover On The Wind finished behind Protest Rally when the pair clashed here 17 days ago but is weighted to reverse the form this time.
