Copper Mountain has won three of her last six and is only up 3lb for scoring at Wetherby last month. OUTSMART has never been out of a place in six starts, scoring at Newcastle in March and beaten just a length over this track and trip last month.

Fylde Coast looks best of Richard Fahey’s pair on his handicap debut while Gibside was clear in the straight over the course and distance last week and hung on for second.
