Several with claims but Capla Crusader drops back down in trip after finishing a close-up fourth at Wolverhampton and Snow Storm is upped in distance after placing over 7f at Redcar. Red October hails from last year’s winning yard and has only found one too good in both starts over a mile, including Kempton last time, but WISE RULER may just edge this. He finished third over today’s trip at Salisbury earlier this month and Simon Crisford’s yard has hit top form recently. Wave Walker never threatened at the same meeting at Salisbury but the newcomer Spanish Mission is related to a Listed winner.
