Verdict

Cape Peron ran really well when fifth in the Britannia over track and trip despite the fast ground though runner-up Tarikhi has let the form down since. Henry Candy's charge will go close if any rain arrives but BUTTERFLY MCQUEEN is just preferred. She stormed clear to record a six length victory at this venue a fortnight ago and looks progressive enough to defy a hike in the weights. Intrigo won a competitive affair at Doncaster last time beating Makafeh a length and both could figure again but Fehaydi and Machete Mark have something to find on their running in the Britannia. Secret Art and Tamayuz Star are others to consider in an open affair but Henry The Aviator is taking on much better company today.
