COPPER CAVALIER beat better horses than these when winning a low grade handicap at Wolverhampton back in January. Admittedly, that's not saying much in this company but he may well be good enough on his return to action.

Lady Cooper and Forceful Beacon compete outside of maiden company for the first time and may finish closer.
