Verdict
An event that won't take too much winning and Maybe I Wont is preferred to Wee Buns and Copperbottomed. The selection has had plenty of racing this year but is a consistent sort at this level and it is interesting that connections have come here rather than other engagements. Wee Buns is well named as there is not a lot of him. He does not look to have gone on this autumn. Copperbottomed has needed plenty of time to get the hang of the racing game but could still be improving. Jim Boyle may have made a wise claim. Shepherds Warning is exposed as ordinary although front-runnning tactics could work tonight. Nothing Likea Dame drops in grade while Naming Problems was well beaten in a maiden at the track last weekend. Maybe I Wont appears the percentage call.
