CAPTAIN SUNSHINE would have almost certainly have won over C&D in January had he not fallen and looked to be crying out for a return to a longer trip when staying on late behind Balder Success over 2m at Ascot last month. He's difficult to oppose today though Hindon Road ran a nice race at big odds at Southwell in February and should continue heading in the right direction. Natural Spring has shown ability in the past but Suzy Smith's charge is probably best watched returning from a lay-off.
