NICHOLASCOPERNICUS showed a big improvement when stepped up in trip at Doncaster last week. He returned a convincing three length winner and looks capable of following up in similar underfoot conditions. In contrast, it was fast ground when Dovils Date scored at Salisbury three weeks ago and Run Of The Day has posted a couple of woeful efforts either side of a win at Southwell. Dynastic and Bob's World are struggling off their current marks but Sign Manual may do better on his handicap bow.
