PLAY SMARTER

He’s badly out of form but COPPER KNIGHT joint-holder of the title of winning-most horse at York, has been used to contesting much stronger handicaps than this here and could be worth one more chance from a mark 17lb lower than for his last success at Chester a year ago under Sean Kirrane. Paul Midgley runs 5, with Elegant Erin and Spring Is Sprung strong contenders. Nelson Gay is another to consider

PLAY SMARTER

A few in with chances but the vote goes to POPMASTER, who turned in his best effort of the year when going down by just a short head at Newbury last month and Ed Walker’s grey looks potentially well treated back at a course he goes particularly well at. Haymaker possibly didn’t handle the idiosyncrasies of Epsom last time, so he’s put forward as the main threat back on a more conventional track, while Temple Bruer and Ingra Tor can battle for minor honours.
