A moderate affair but Andrew Haynes has his string in good heart at present and COPPER CANYON doesn't look on too bad a mark for this handicap bow. Admittedly, he disappointed when a modest fourth in a Kempton maiden when sent off favourite but wasn't beaten far in the end and his previous efforts augur well for his chances in this company. Phillip Makin is a good booking too. In contrast, Ad Vitam is thoroughly exposed but usually delivers his best and should be in the shake-up after being dropped a couple of pounds for his latest effort. Baby Driver and Ollon could play a part if ready for their respective seasonal reappearances.
