Verdict

A 4lb rise for winning at Yarmouth last week may not stop CAPTAIN BRETT. The four-year-old stepped forward from both his runs this season to win in decent fashion and this appears to be a very winnable contest on paper. Jack Langley's consistency earns him a place on the shortlist, while Kotari's recent fifth at Bath was more encouraging and he might be able to strike soon.

Top Tip: Captain Brett (4)
Watch out for: Jack Langley (5)

It's hard to know quite what the form of CAPTAIN BRETT's latest victory is worth but he did beat an in form rival that day and has only gone up 4lb. On favourable quick ground he can defeat the admirably consistent Jack Langley who has a good record on the AW track here. Kotari is arguably the best handicapped in the race so isn't dismissed either but he the fast ground is a worry for him.
