Race preview
COPPER COVE has a 7lb penalty to surmount for a comfortable success at Exeter, but he looks to hold every chance of doing so with conditions in his favour once more. Runner-up to a smart sort at Exeter on debut, Hilltown must enter calculations along with Fame And Fun, who hasn't shown much on both career outings but cannot be easily ruled out here. Coming from a stable that knows how to ready one, Seismic Wave appeal most of the newcomers.
