CAPTAIN BOB certainly wasn't winning out of turn at Warwick and Charlie Hills has carried on where father Barry left off here. He may just be good enough to follow up though Our Gabrial has claims if transferring his all-weather form to Turf and Erroneous and Brian Noble have plenty of scope. So does Muteela and she showed a fine turn of foot when ridden positively to score at Beverley. She's gone up 9lb but there is more to come from Mark Johnston's filly and she won't surrender her unbeaten record easily but stablemate Almargo has struggled since being switched to Turf.
