WOOLHAMPTON is the most exposed and returns from a lay-off. But she managed to place in Listed company last summer and should go close in this with an official mark of 84. Copper Bay is going the right way judged on last month’s second at Chelmsford while Mick Says No finished ahead of Dercol when finding one too good over track and trip last time. Pearly Star is related to a winner on the all-weather and is a newcomer to note.
