Copper Knight is a York specialist and has little in hand over Jawwaal and Mondammej on recent running having been raised 4lb. Mountain Peak looks held on the form book while the progressive Be Proud was entered here yesterday. STONE OF DESTINY has to arrive late on the scene but should find cover among these and he did win the Portland at Doncaster around this time last year. Jabbarockie would have a chance on his form in the spring but has become disappointing and Atalis Bay has a lot of weight to carry for a three-year-old.
