In depth
Verdict
Placed at Galway last time, Capel At Dawn is preferred to stablemate Zofar Zogood, a runner-up in a rated race here recently. Justina is fitted with a tongue tie and makes more appeal than Lady Scathach as she drops in class while Arabeska returns to action 4lb higher than when scoring over 7f at Gowran at this time last year. ROCA ROMA (NAP) has been highly tried since winning a maiden race and struggled in the Group 1 Pretty Polly before beaten in a Listed race at Killarney. This could prove more her level and she gets the vote handicapping for the first time.
