Verdict
Copper Coin was only beaten a head at Kempton last month and Regarding Ruth was a winner at Warwick. Espoir De Romay carried a big weight into second at Ascot while Uhtred was only beaten a length at Ayr. TWIG isn’t particularly well treated on his handicap debut but he’s proved a revelation over hurdles and Beau Morgan’s claim will help his cause. Gesskille is rated 7lb higher over fences but course and distance winner Hillview may need this.
