Verdict
The older horses look to have plenty on against the three-year-olds, who are open to some improvement. Copybook is clearly one of the yards lesser lights and if he is not capable of taking a hand in this, there does not seem much hope for him. This trip should bring about improvement from Decisive, while this represents Norwood Origo easiest task to date and this half-brother to five winners is taken to prove the best of a moderate bunch.
