COPPERFACEJACK missed out on a treble when only third at Market Rasen but wasn’t beaten far and Paul Webber’s charge may yet come good off his current mark. Fly Home Harry is not the most reliable but has won two of his last four outings and Richard Johnson takes over the reins today while Clubs Are Trumps won at Southwell before fading badly at Market Rasen last time. Morney Wing won at Fakenham earlier but was lucky as he looked beaten in third when the front two fell at the last and Crank Em Up has struggled since scoring at Wincanton at the start of the year.
