This is a pretty ordinary maiden so a market check is advised on Andrew Balding's Invincible Spirit newcomer Wu Zetian, though her dam was a stayer. COPPERBELT missed the break and then ran green on his belated debut at Southwell. But he was well backed that day suggesting there should be plenty to come from this full brother to the useful Saigon as he gains experience. Mark Johnston's colt gets the nod today as So Noble was still beaten eight lengths when fourth on his introduction at Warwick, though is another with scope.
