Copain De Classe and Peak To Peak both carry double penalties having won their latest starts at Wincanton and Plumpton respectively with the former having the edge of that pair on today’s terms.

Nicky Henderson’s charge has every chance at the weights and is also preferred to Newton Abbot winner Master Dancer, beaten under a penalty on a couple of subsequent starts.
