Expert View Verdict

Verdict

This can go to CIAO CAPO, who improved for the step up in trip when scoring at Beverley last time, hitting the line well having had to wait for a run, and he looks capable of defying a 3lb rise. Stepanov looks the danger, with improvement likely on his latest Nottingham third. That was his first run since being gelded. The consistent Dalamara is next best with the step up to 10f likely in her favour.
