      Verdict

      Capitoul has taken to fences like a duck to water. He had Miss Night Owl well adrift at Huntingdon last month, though Tom George’s mare is 18lb better off today. DIAKALI made all and jumped well at Fontwell. A keen-going sort, he won’t mind the drop in distance here and should be hard to peg back if putting in a clear round. Winning pointer Intercooler Turbo is unlikely to have the speed to cope with some of these back under Rules.
