KOPECK DE MEE (3) was touted as a potential handicap runner ahead of Cheltenham Festival. Ultimately failed to deliver. Subsequent Aintree second (2m4f) confirmed the hype was justified. Might go one better. Stable companion GALA MARCEAU (12) disappointed in two runs this term. The dual G1 winner in 2023 could prove dangerous to ignore dropping into handicap company. Consistent COLONEL MUSTARD (4) produced four excellent runs so far this season. Competitive handicap and would be a deserving winner. Having won over course and distance FEET OF A DANCER (11) also demands respect following an excellent Cheltenham fourth.
