In depth
Verdict
LORD CAPRIO may be suited by this extra half-mile and is fairly treated. Methusalar may have needed his comeback run and has been lightly raced while it's still early days for French import Royal Mer, who has dropped 8lb since joining the Pipe yard. Just Call Me Al is also tumbling down the weights while Female Approach is worth a market check on a first start for new connections. Irish challenger Chancer Dancer for Noel Kelly could also go well.
