This doesn't look the strongest of juvenile events and Cape Canaveral is handed the vote to open his account over timber. Gary Moore's charge has shown plenty of ability in better company including when fifth behind Red Wine at Newbury last time and meets nothing of that calibre on this occasion. Kingkohler, who was an easy five-length winner on the Flat at Wolverhampton last month, ran encouragingly on his hurdling debut at Market Rasen yesterday, finishing a close third having attempted to make all. The son of King's Theatre should give a good account if recovering from yesterday's exertions while French Mannequin looks capable of going close here after a fine effort behind a useful yardstick at Wincanton earlier in the month.
