Verdict

There could be better to come from COPPER BEACH, who posted his best effort yet by some way when finding just one too strong in a Hexham novice and, on that evidence, his mark for this handicap debut looks very fair indeed. Doctor Dex has to be taken seriously on his first run for Nick Kent, despite returning from a lengthy absence, while Glory And Honour and Sacre Pierre are others to consider.
