      Verdict

      CAPITAL THEORY debuted on the all-weather with a decent third in a handicap at Southwell. He looks to have every chance back at this level and is clear of Chargo and Damascus Finish on official ratings. Mayfair Gold may prove a bigger threat if lasting home having gone close over a mile at Kempton last time but the remainder are hard to recommend.
