Despite having won just once on the Flat, CAPE TRIBULATION looks well enough handicapped to double that tally. He started favourite when this was run over an extra 2f last year but disappointed though he returned with a fine run in October when touched off by Mashaari, who was receiving 8lb. Malcolm Jefferson's charge has been chasing at the highest level over the winter and this looks a good opportunity. John Quinn runs Hidden Justice, twice a winner over timber before reappearing on the Flat with a victory over 2m2f at Pontefract, and Moidore, who is best with some give in the ground. Winning bumper Chancery makes his handicap debut from a lowly mark and has been racing over trips too short so he's one to keep an eye on in the betting.
