In depth
Verdict
Capriolo put in a fine performance over course and distance two weeks ago and despite never looking totally comfortable on soft ground should have the class to beat this weak-looking field. His biggest danger should be Blue Streak who ran reasonably well at the same meeting and is entitled to come on for that run. Dolphinelle is well weighted on his form of two years ago but recent form has been disappointing. Edeiff is a consistent sort who would not have to improve too much on his recent effort at Wincanton to take a hand here.
