Verdict
COPPERWELL pulled hard at Wexford 10 days ago and ran out of steam in the closing stages but that was still a massive improvement on his first two runs over hurdles and he will take all the beating if settling better here. Keepthefaithinme looks the stable second string while Maifalki hasn’t been easy to train in recent years but has won six times on the Flat and was second last month at Ayr. Kilbrainy looks best of the rest.
