Verdict
Capote’s Dream bids for a hat-trick having won a decent handicap at Windsor in August. He beat Beyond Equal at the same track earlier in the year and should be in the mix again having won both previous starts over track and trip. But a chance is taken on MIGHTY GURKHA (NAP), who is also unbeaten here having landed a conditions race on his last visit back in January. Archie Watson’s charge looks on a decent mark competing in a handicap for the first time. Huraiz hasn’t won for some time but is preferred of the remainder in this grade.
