        Verdict

        COPACABANA DANCER won with something to spare over the minimum trip at Chelmsford last time and there looks more to come from Joseph Tuite’s charge. Brazen Safa represents last year’s winning yard and showed plenty of early pace before running out of steam at Windsor on her debut while Audio is another likely to finish closer today after a modest third of five at Kempton and is preferred to Baileys Freedom. Mark Johnston won this in 2017 and Rose Of Kildare may prove best of the newcomers.
