Verdict
Cappucino didn't do much wrong when placed over the course and distance last month though is probably vulnerable to a newcomer. Gordon Elliott saddled the second that day and has two engaged here. Smokey Putnum was tailed off at Gowran but SAMUI is a half-brother to four winners and may be good enough to make a winning start. Ganderstown is bred to be a winning miler so should have more pace than most while Familiar Dreams has a middle-distance pedigree.
