        Verdict

        Copperwood pops up when he feels like it and he was obviously in the mood at Lingfield last week. But he's not one to rely on and Eastward Ho makes more appeal back on a winning mark having found only one too good at Redcar last time. District Attorney, Joyful Sound and ROCKWEILLER have all tumbled down the weights but the last-named is the only one to have shown any improvement for it with a close-up fourth over track and trip. Dropped in distance today, he should make a bold bid if allowed his own way out in front. Last Destination could prove best of the rest.
