Forecasts

Daring Plan (7/2), Carrigmoorna Rowan (7/2), Catboy (4/1), Copper Cove (9/2), Jaitroplaclasse (5/1), Port Or Starboard (14/1), Jiair Madrik (14/1), Just Aidan (16/1)

Verdict

COPPER COVE would have been placed but for a final-fence fall at Hereford a fortnight ago and assuming he's come out of that fine, he makes plenty of appeal from 1 lb lower. Jiair Madrik showed a lot more than previous for this yard at Catterick last time and he's a threat, along with Jaitroplaclasse.
