CAPE EXPRESS should be more than capable of landing the hat-trick after decisive victories in better races at Southwell and Hereford. Betwixt those runs he ran well in a Flat handicap on the Roodeye and the Cape Cross gelding, a useful Flat performer for the late Michael Jarvis, should have things his own way here. Go Annie landed a Newbury bumper last December but disappointed next time around and a more interesting opponent is Sciampin. He makes his hurdling debut for Liam Corcoran after showing decent handicap form on the level for Marco Botti.
