Verdict
KOPTOON is turned out again quickly under a penalty after bolting up at Bath on Friday. If in the same mood, Jo Hughes' Lambourn raider should take all the beating. Dance Alone was still beaten five lengths when second in a course and distance maiden last month but Consistant was only headed close home at Chepstow on his latest start while Bad Girl Caoimhe has only found one too good here and at Catterick on her two runs this year. Tavener and Penny Royale are also capable of getting involved but Ayr winner Captain Scooby was well beaten at Newcastle on Saturday in a lesser race.
