Commanche landed a double over 6f at Chelmsford earlier and Kenstone went close over the same course and distance on his penultimate start. Capital Gearing was ahead of Zabdi when placed over 7f at Kempton last month and Little Indian was third on Tapeta at Newcastle earlier this month. CAPTAIN K stayed on for third here a fortnight ago despite running into trouble in the closing stages and Gordon Elliott’s charge may prove good enough in what looks a weak handicap to say the least.
