      In depth

      Verdict

      Some in-form rivals can be led home by Captain Corelli, who is selected in preference to Nas Na Riogh and Golden Rambler. The last named took a heavy fall the last time he was seen out and it remains to be seen if that has left any lasting affects on his confidence. Added to that is the enforced absence since last September and he is probably best watched this afternoon. Nas Na Riogh is capable on her day and has to be respected now that her yard have returned to form in the last few weeks. However, she can take a few liberties at her fences and will not get away with many mistakes here. Therefore, we prefer the claims held by Captain Corelli, who has improved with each outing over fences and looks worth persevering with whilst he is in such good heart.
