JOANNES HOPE (5) drew trap 5 last start and was game in defeat when a close third, 1.75 lengths from Alnwick Martyn (29.67) at this track. Makes plenty of appeal. COPPICE KAISER (6) wasn't far away at the finish when 5th and beaten only 4 lengths (29.28) at this track. Can figure in the finish. ALNWICK HOORAY (4) looks close to another win after finishing second last time (29.81) in an A7 at this track. Expecting another good run. MOS AOIBH (2) should be thereabouts despite an unplaced run here most recently.
