        Verdict

        Capital Flight sets the standard off a mark of 79 having competed in better company than this last year. Well Suited went close over 6f at Windsor on his debut but hasn’t raced since July while Communique also showed ability in both starts last term and finished runner-up over track and trip in October. Capla Jaipur will likely finish closer after placing over 7f here but WARBURTON was beaten only a head at Kempton 10 days ago and the Godolphin charge is taken to open his account with an apprentice’s allowance helping his cause today.
