Verdict
COPPER AND FIVE is by Paco Boy and the first foal of a mare who won at up to 2m on the all-weather. This shouldn't take much winning and he gets the vote as Stay Forever has been disappointing since her close third at Newmarket in October. Al Daayen has looked one-paced in two runs on Tapeta though this surface may help but it's hard to know what to make of Little Rock, who ran quite well at Kempton in December before finishing tailed off at Lingfield last month.
