Big Meadow bids to recoup losses incurred on his hurdles bow at Chepstow and should be winning soon. But GIVE ME A COPPER (NAP) could cap a profitable afternoon for followers of the Paul Nicholls yard as the Irish points winner easily won a Cork bumper on his first start under Rules and had plenty of entries this week. Another former pointer, Dark Mahler, is well worth a market check while Lord Bryan was well backed in three of his four runs in bumpers last season and should do better now switched to hurdles. Bindon Mill was only beaten a nose here in February and has already achieved a rating of 115 but does have his stamina to prove.
