Verdict

It all clicked for COPPERKNOB at Brighton in June and he could have more to offer over this sort of trip so he gets the nod back from a break. Recent 1m Lingfield novice winner Far Horizon should be suited by this step up in trip for his handicap debut so he's feared most ahead of Storm Catcher.
