In depth

Verdict

Kempton maiden winner Koptoon drops in class along with Gerrard's Slip, a winner at Southwell in February under today's apprentice. ACCLAMATE ran poorly at Nottingham last time but was beaten less than a length at this venue in December and Marco Botti's colt may prove good enough at this level. Grosmont went close over track and trip in March but has subsequently finished a long way behind fourth-placed Just Marion in a Leicester claimer while both of Zebs Lad's successes came over the minimum trip.
