Presenting Copper, Marvellous Dream and Tabora are three against the field in another trappy affair and the narrow vote is given to Presenting Copper. The selection won well last time out when beating Simon's Girl and with more improvement likely he looks the one to be on. Marvellous Dream rates the main danger on his debut fourth behind No Directions, she is sure to have been well schooled for this her hurdling debut and should be closely watched in the market. Tabora won well last time when beating Bonnet's Pieces but he may struggle under his penalty. Of the remainder, Saratogane is from a yard in form and is another to note in the market but her best form is on a faster surface. With that in mind, Presenting Copper makes much more appeal and is selected accordingly.
