BETTING FORECAST:

2-1 The Kniphand (FR), 11-4 Copshill Lad (IRE), 9-2 Mullinaree (IRE), 11-1 Petit Bijou (GB), 12-1 Gentleman Jake (GB), 16-1 Democritus (GB), 33-1 Its Going Rome (IRE)

RACE SUMMARY:

COPSHILL was picked up for £50,000 after a promising second between the flags and, having joined a stable adept at preparing newcomers in bumpers, he makes plenty of appeal. The Kniphand is a big danger following a pleasing start at Bangor, and Mullinaree should be respected having made the trip over from Ireland.
