Delighted to see Copper show us what we knew he could do.  A change to a straight track and smaller field played to his strengths and he settled nicely before battling really hard to win by a length.

“COPPER AND FIVE was the sole maiden in the field but put that to right with a game performance under changed tactics, seemingly relishing striding on up with the pace and then finding plenty when challenged from some way out. He handles this quick ground well and could have more to offer now the key to him has been found.”

“COPPER AND FIVE has been running quite keen in behind so we decided to just let him stride over a bit shorter and it suited him down to the ground, he’s battled right to the line. My saddle slipped on the way to the start and we just re-saddled him at the start.”
