The longer trip shouldn't bother COPPER PENNY who can add to her maiden win here. David Lanigan has done well with his Yorkshire raids and this filly has (in the main) held her form well since wining here in May. Tamarillo Grove sauntered home at Hamilton and the grader may have taken a risk by leaving his mark unchanged now back in handicap company, and along with the unexposed Mazamorra he rates a big danger. Dream On Buddy travelled like the winner when done on the line by Cherry Bee at Thirsk, Hail Bold Chief is on the improve and is hard to leave out of calculations, whilst First In The Queue was handed the race at Lingfield and this looks tougher. Elsewhere the consistent trio of Luv U Noo, Jupiter Fidius and Queen's Scholar join Ella Grace, with Paul Hanagan on board for the first time in a year, as runners to take seriously.
