Verdict
Caponova has rattled-up a hat-trick of course and distance wins on faster ground than this and is raised a further 5lb. ATHLON is preferred as he scored on soft going at Windsor before landing a double with victory at the same track last time. David Lanigan’s charge is taken to defy a penalty and also get the better of Just Hiss, fourth over track and trip on his handicap debut and expected to reverse running with third-placed Torremar now. Kings Gold and Glance My Way are getting no closer but Touchdown Banwell could be in the mix now handicapping for the first time.
