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.
