Ante-post favourite First Mohican heads a maximum field of 23 for the Betfred November Handicap at Doncaster on Saturday.
Ed Walker is looking forward to a big run from Nicholascopernicus, who staked his claim with an emphatic victory at Goodwood four weeks ago. "We're really happy with him. He's in good nick and he's come out of his Goodwood win well," the Newmarket trainer told At The Races. "He's never been a flashy worker. He just does what he has to do and he had a gentle spin on Tuesday morning and we're very happy with him. "I don't think the ground is going to be as testing as probably hoped. "They are calling it good, good to soft in places. There's a little bit of rain forecast on Friday. I think it's down to two millimetres forecast which won't even touch the sides. "He'll be fine on it. He just doesn't want any firm in the going description, which we won't get. "He just seems to cope with really testing conditions better than others."Click here for completely free £10 bet with Sky Bet & £5 free every week
