In depth
Verdict
Plenty with claims in this and only a speculative vote goes to CAPTAIN REVELATION. He scored over track and trip in July and today's rider takes 7lb off his back. Character Onesie is another course and distance winner while Al's Memory won an amateurs' contest at Salisbury last time and Smokethatthunders ran well in a lady amateurs' race at Ascot in July. Maureb and Rousayan are others to consider off their current marks.
