COPPERBEECH can take this at the expense of Splashdown and Moneycantbuymelove. Moneycantbuymelove ran well on her seasonal debut in a good Newmarket sales contest, a step up on last season's form, and she maintained the improvement last time to be placed in a similar race to this. By Pivotal, she should appreciate this easier surface and she can hit the frame once more. Splashdown landed a Kempton maiden on her debut, and then was a close third behind the classy Enticement in a Listed affair. However, up against some race fit rivals, she may be best watched on her re-appearance. Copperbeech is also without the benefit of a run this year, but the Godolphin camp had success at York and they look to have another good opportunity here. The selection won on her first two starts and lost little in defeat when a close third in the Group One Prix Marcel Boussac. That form gives Copperbeech an outstanding chance here.
