Copper Canyon was all out to win at Wolverhampton last week on his reappearance and first start for a new yard. It remains to be seen how much that effort has taken out of him and preference is for the lightly-raced CASUAL MOVER. A winner over a mile at this track on his debut at this time last year, he was having only his second start since April when a creditable sixth here three weeks ago and will appreciate today's longer trip. Archelao is also unexposed and may figure while the likes of Trip Switch, Conducting and Whodunit are others with claims.
