Captain Peaky should improve for last month’s debut third at Catterick and can figure but Percy Verence was still beaten out of sight when placed at Thirsk a week ago. ONESIE is another likely to show further progress on the back of a fourth at Lingfield and it’s Marco Botti’s charge that gets the speculative vote. The filly The Big Day is getting plenty of weight from the older horses including Pointillism, well beaten over hurdles in January and returning to the Flat for the first time since 2014.
