Verdict

COPPERPLATE was upped in class and dropped in trip last time having earlier won over 2m at Chelmsford. He gets another chance with today’s apprentice claiming 7lb. Easy Equation returned to today’s trip with a better effort at Wolverhampton and can figure again but Blazon has yet to rediscover his best despite slipping down the weights this year. Artemis Sky hasn’t raced since May and debuts for a new yard on her return.
