Verdict

Capard King is back on a winning mark and Brian Hughes rides but the handicapper is also giving a chance to stablemate CAVENTARA, who only weakened approaching the last at Catterick last time and could find some improvement in cheekpieces. Cash To Ash was back on song at Wetherby last month but Bangor winner Echo Watt will need to jump better than at Plumpton last time. Silver In Disguise is 2-2 over fences and the form of his Chepstow win has already been franked but he has gone up 8lb, though Charlie Price claims 5lb again.
