Verdict
Copperwood just got the better of Honey Of A Kitten over 1m2f here less than two weeks ago with Abigails Angel a couple of lengths further back. But the latter may come out best of that trio on today's more favourable terms. Ocean Applause has a shout on his recent third in a claimer at Kempton and is preferred to Prime Exhibit and Hillbilly Boy, who failed to complete over hurdles recently on his first start since March. MAHADEE drops in grade after a recent start in a Class 4 handicap and Ed de Giles' charge looks up to completing this easier task at the weights.
