There's little between these on today's terms. But HOUSE CAPTAIN is one of the least exposed having gone close at Lingfield last time and Richard Hughes presence suggests he's preferred to recent Goodwood winner Lindart. Front Page News won a handicap over track and trip last week while Arctic Lynx, Noverre To Go and Lujeanie are all course and distance winners perfectly capable of getting involved. The Dandy Yank finished ahead of Hamoody when runner-up at Bath last time and both have a shout in this.
