De Kerry Man attracted market support in a better race than this at Kempton nine days ago but jumped poorly and came home last of the eight finishers. CAPPIELOW PARK (NAP) has a terrific record on heavy going and is guaranteed maximum assistance from the saddle. This is less competitive than the Kempton race he contested last month and he can pick up the winning thread again with De Blacksmith proving hard to win with and not certain to act on the ground. Goring Two won at Plumpton two runs ago but reverted to type at Fontwell last time.
