Captain Brown has been a standing dish around here but he’s been well below his best this year. Sleep In First usually alternates between hurdles and fences but hasn’t won over the smaller obstacles in more than two years. Xpo Universel is 0-70 under Rules and Always Resolute might not be the force of old which leaves WAZOWSKI as the obvious one to beat given he was second at Bangor earlier this month and will enjoy any give in the ground.
