Assertive Agent was caught close home here a fortnight ago and stablemate First Rebellion is another threatening to get his head in front. Little Indian has been thereabouts in a couple of starts since winning at Wolverhampton and finished ahead of Evident last time but COPPER CAVALIER makes most appeal. The latter was runner-up at Lingfield last month on his first outing since September and Michael Blanshard's charge looks capable of scoring off his current mark with that pipe-opener under his belt.
