In depth
Verdict
The returning Cap St Vincent has won four times over fences but is 0-7 over hurdles. TIGERTEN was easy to back on his hurdling debut at Plumpton but still ran well for a long way and the Flat winner will know more today. Fontwell third Ballycamus is also a likely improver but looks a chaser in the making. Art Of Illusion looks the pick of the remainder.
