Copper Horse Stakes (Handicap) - Form Comments
2381m – Turf
| 1 | Collide | Appealing prospect. Ran well at Royal Ascot over 2392m last year and win over 2800m on all-weather 8 days ago was a good performance. Ryan Moore booked. A good chance. |
| 2 | Floating Artist | Ascot winner over 2392m last July and should come on for recent run at Newmarket. A tough task. |
| 3 | Alright Sunshine | An admirable performer who stays well and ended 2019 with victory over 3495m at Ayr, his seventh career win. Respected. |
| 4 | Dubai Horizon | An infrequent winner and now a 6yo but his two placed runs over 2810m, both in Dubai this year, among his best. An outside chance. |
| 5 | Ernesto | Recently joined Ian Williams from Germany, where won twice from 18 runs, once placed in a G3 race. Victory would be a surprise. |
| 6 | Shailene | Won Listed race in Italy and placed in G2 in Germany last year. Fourth of five at Haydock over 2327m 10 days ago. Needs to improve on latest run. |
| 7 | Themaxwecan | Won at Ascot over 3190m last July. Only fifth of six on reappearance at Haydock 9 days ago but didn’t have the fast ground he’s best on. Not dismissed. |
| 8 | Deal A Dollar | Moved from Sir Michael Stoute to David Simcock last December. Respectable placed efforts since but not an obvious winner. |
| 9 | Amazing Red | 7yo who won a Listed race in Spain last year before being well beaten there and in Sweden. Unlikely winner. |
| 10 | Fujaira Prince | Not out of first three in six runs. Progressive, third in Duke of Edinburgh Stakes at Royal Ascot 2019. Not run since but should stay trip and interesting. |
| 11 | Ranch Hand | Best run when won over 2800m on soft ground at Haydock last year. Mixed form otherwise and hard to be confident. |
| 12 | Hochfeld | Capable of good runs but long time since last won and not an obvious candidate for victory. |
| 13 | Here And Now | Put up some good performances in 2018, including when winning over 3251m at York. Has not run since October 2018. |
| 14 | Eddystone Rock | 8yo winner of 8 of 61 races. Good efforts to win at Ascot and York over longer trips last August. Well beaten in March and younger legs likely to overtake him. |
| 15 | Almania | Didn’t progress for Sir Michael Stoute last year and having first run for David Simcock. Needs to show more sparkle. |
| 16 | Selino | Encouraging first season in 2019 and finished it with easy win over 3309m at Wolverhampton. Higher in handicap now but remains interesting. |
| Reserves | ||
| Reshoun | Decent handicapper who stays well and won over 3198m on latest run last November. Not obviously well handicapped and others may improve more. | |
| Speedo Boy | Last success was in 2018 and is inconsistent. Not run since last June and he would be a shock winner. | |
| Hereby | Improved throughout 2019, winning five of seven races, ending with success over 2831m at Ascot in October. Probably best on soft ground. Interesting. |
