Verdict

LORD COOPER has now won three of his last four outings having scored over track and trip on his latest start. A 3lb rise doesn’t look insurmountable and he should make another bold bid. Intense Romance is unbeaten in a couple of starts at Newcastle and has plenty of scope along with recent maiden winner Derek Duval but Arzaak continues to frustrate and was placed yet again when favourite at Newcastle recently. Cappananty Con remains 7lb higher than his earlier course and distance success but has gone close again subsequently.
