      Verdict

      Capponicus has cut little ice in better company of late but looks the one to beat if able to reproduce his third behind the smart Rag Top in a Newbury minor event in May. Rowan Express had his limitations exposed in a York nursery but has claims on an earlier Wolverhampton selling win and is a bigger threat than Highness who has is proving disappointing including in a weak event last time.
