Inchcolm passed the post first at Market Rasen in April but was disqualified for interference. But he’s still been raised 7lb and COPPERFACEJACK is preferred. The latter finally showed some improvement for a tumble down the weights when second at Warwick last time and can go one better in this. Uncle Pettit won at Worcester when last at the track but that was back in 2014 while the veteran That's The Deal posted a better effort over these fences on his latest start and Mollies Gent won a novices handicap at Perth before his latest poor effort.
