In depth
Verdict
There was little between Glinbury and Harmony Lil at Doncaster in November but Two Cop Bop has been raised 6lb for ending last season with a victory in soft ground at Hamilton. The latter’s stablemate Seaclusion was regularly placed on the all-weather at the end of last term while STAY SMART has been thereabouts on artificial surfaces so far this year. David O’Meara’s charge is unexposed on Turf and may come good in an open sprint. Lost My Sock should be winning before long while Lead Story drops down in distance and stable companion Millions makes his handicap debut.
