Verdict
Amalfi Doug seeks an eighth course victory but today’s going may be too quick for Keith Dalgleish’s veteran. Cilaos Glace has been lightly raced in the last few years but did win at Fontwell in December. However, it’s a while since Cap St Vincent showed any worthwhile form over fences. FRAU GEORGIA ran a shocker here last time but that wasn’t her form. She has her ground today and looks to be back on a decent mark. If Not For Dylan is only 1-11 over fences but has claims if putting in a clear round.
