Give Me A Copper has been around for quite a number of years and he’s still going strong. I’ve schooled him quite a few times through the season and his work at home is getting better and better.
He ran a cracker coming second at Doncaster on his only run this season and no doubt his race fitness would have improved subsequently.
We wouldn’t want the ground to be too testing for him though, no more rain before Saturday would be ideal.
Looking beyond Saturday, he has the attributes to become a Grand National horse. Being an older horse he has that wealth of experience that could see him run well at Aintree.
4:25 – Teescomponentslass – British European Breeders Fund (EBF) Mares’ Standard Open National Hunt Flat Race
A horse trained by Tom Lacey, I’ve never ridden for Mr Lacey before so it’s great to have that opportunity and I’d love to get off to the perfect start on Teescomponentlass on Saturday.
He was second in a bumper at Ayr in his first race, so he should know his job well enough hopefully to put up a good run for me on Saturday.
Best chance of a winner?
Miranda, I’m really looking forward to riding her.
