Verdict

Captains Dilemma wasn't beaten far in this a year ago and has mainly continued in good form scoring twice. He should make a bold bid while Shabra Emperor returned to winning ways last month when beating Elusive In Paris with Tsar Paul around 8l back in sixth. The winner has gone up 7lb while the latter went up 10lb after completing a double last month and couldn't handle the extra. FAIRY FOXGLOVE has yet to win but can't go much lower in the ratings. She's finished behind the latter pair in recent races but is much better off at the weights and this could be her chance. Stoichkhov pops up occasionally, usually when least expected, while the lightly-raced Kodiac's Back has dropped to his lowest ever mark.
