Verdict
winner Copper Knight when the latter also beat stablemate Eeh Bah Gum and Foolaad at York last month. But Tim Easterby’s charge had earlier fallen victim to Merhoob at Chester while Tarboosh drops in class but found the returning Dakota Gold too good at Haydock last autumn. The progressive Makanah needs to improve further raised 7lb for winning at Musselburgh last time and ENCORE D’OR makes more appeal. The latter won a conditions race over track and trip when last at this venue in January and ran well for third back in handicap company at Chelmsford on his latest start.
