Verdict

He's badly out of form but COPPER KNIGHT, joint-holder of the title of winning-most horse at York, has been used to contesting much stronger handicaps than this here and could be worth one more chance from a mark 17 lb lower than for his last success at Chester a year ago under Sean Kirrane. Paul Midgley runs 5, with Elegant Erin and Spring Is Sprung strong contenders. Nelson Gay is another to consider.

  1. COPPER KNIGHT (IRE)
  2. ELEGANT ERIN (IRE)
  3. SPRING IS SPRUNG (FR)
