Copper Knight may be 10 years old but is a Chester specialist, with 3 wins and 2 places here from 8 races. 7 of those races have been over course and distance with the other over the extended 5 furlongs. Has a good draw from stall 4 and with the benefit of a recent run at Beverley 2 weeks ago he looks each way value with this the likely target.

WIN @

Runner-up over a furlong further on penultimate start and off this mark in a Class 4 race and pulled up in a Class 1 when last seen. The drop back in grade to Class 4 appeals.

WIN @

Just the one win from 33 runs suggests caution but is now down to a mark of 55 with his win coming off a mark of 74 over this trip at Yarmouth in 2021. Raced here once before over 7 furlongs when a keeping on 3rd of 9 beaten a length off a mark of 65 in August 2023 and of interest trying this trip for the first time under his new yard, having joined Mark Gillard in October 2023 and 6 races all over further. The drop in trip with the uphill finish here could suit.

WIN @

3rd of 16 and staying on well in the first time blinkers at Plumpton last time out. Down 2 pounds in the handicap and eased in grade to Class 4 from Class 3.

EW @

Trying this trip for the first time but gave every indication it will suit when running on inside the final furlong over a mile and a quarter here last month. That run was on the back of an absence of 131 days and she is likely to come on for that run too.

WIN @

3 times a course and distance winner, which can be invaluable at this specialist's track, comes here in great heart following a win over half a furlong shorter at Redcar last week and looks set to run another big race.

WIN @

A 10 race maiden and a runner-up once. That second placed effort was her only attempt at this 5 furlong trip and back in October 2023 off the same mark as today, 46, when beaten 3 quarter's of a length on heavy ground by a horse now rated 58. She didn't get a clear run over 6 furlongs at Thirsk last time out and could welcome this slight drop in trip.

WIN @

Fell at the first fence last time out when sent off second favourite and can make amends granted a clear round and staying on the same mark.

WIN @

Drops in grade to Class 6 and should be suited by the step up in trip after racing over shorter here in a Class 5 three weeks ago.
