COPPER DOCK has only won once in 31 starts on turf but has dropped to a fair mark as a consequence. He's returned to action with two very good efforts in tough handicaps and looks ready to regain the winning thread. Good Shot Noreen was made favourite for her handicap debut at Navan last month and though slightly disappointing she's probably capable of better. One Of Three returned to form with a shock victory over the C&D last week and, though inconsistent, can't be ruled out from just 5lb higher. With Ger Lyons' horses in tremendous form it may not be too much of a problem that Polly Floyer hasn't run since landing a Wolverhampton maiden for Walter Swinburn in November and a mark of 61 may prove to be lenient.
