Verdict

Captain Oats went close in an amateurs' race last time and won over a longer trip here last year. But that's his only win in 42 attempts and AYLA'S EMPEROR is preferred. She was having only her fifth start when landing an apprentices' race over 1m3f here a week ago from out of the handicap and escapes a penalty for this. Elle Rebelle has been thereabouts off similar marks of late and Suni Dancer steps back up in trip having slipped down the weights.
