This race has had a habit of throwing up some fair performers and COPPER PENNY seems a reasonable place to start following a decent effort at Windsor. Al Jaadl and Infanta are others to have shown promise whilst there are a number of newcomers to note from top yards. The selection didn't show a great deal on debut but Copper Penny posted a vastly improved performance second time out despite still running a shade green. She should be able to continue to progress and has leading form claims. Al Jaadl showed promise in a Leicester maiden and should improve as she's stepped up in trip through the season whilst Ayam Zainah and Infanta are others that should better the form of their initial efforts in time. Clive Cox and Luca Cumani both have decent strike rates with their three year olds here which brings Perfect Mysteryand Akinoshirabe into the equation along with the likes of Marie De Guise, Blue Zealot and Viewing but Copper Penny may be able to bring home the bacon.
