Save The Pennies scored over course and distance on good ground earlier in the month with My Turgeon not beaten far in third. It should be a close thing between those two again but COOPERS SQUARE is preferred. The latter reverts to hurdling after a careless performance over fences here last week when blundering and unseating at only the second obstacle. Tom Weston’s charge had landed a double in chases before that and can race off a 5lb lower mark back over the smaller obstacles. Most of the remainder are struggling for form and even though Sisania was placed at Kempton on her penultimate start, she hasn’t won since 2016.
