Copperfacejack was second four times in a row in at the end of last year but was beaten six lengths by The Jugopolist over track and trip when last seen in December. Celtic Tune was just touched off here last month while Summer Sounds only found one too good at Fakenham last time. Uncle Pettit won at Taunton on good ground in December when last month’s Leicester second Fuhgeddaboudit was well beaten but the improving HOW’S VIENNA will probably take all the beating if jumping as well as he did at Wincanton eight days ago, though is 10lb higher here.
