Verdict
The 12-year-old Cape Royal has a couple of heavy ground wins to his name but usually needs a few runs to blow away the cobwebs. Milton Bradley also runs February's Kempton winner Triple Dream while Ron Harris saddles both the consistent Riflessione and Decider. First In Command has rattled up a hat-trick on the Fibresand recently and should go close if handling the ground but Master Of Disguise came unstuck on heavy going at Doncaster last month and all of Wooden King's wins have come on a faster surface. The going will hold no fears for LOVE YOU LOUIS however and, with John Jenkins' stable going well, he can recoup Yarmouth losses here off the same mark.
