      Verdict

      CAPTAIN LARS bids for a hat-trick in claiming races having won at Lingfield and Wolverhampton in the last week. The course and distance winner finished in front of Classic Pursuit on both occasions and is taken to confirm running. Rozy Boys has every chance at the weights but showed little in either start last year and has recently changed yards while the remainder look up against it unless Chasing Diamonds shows a big improvement from last month’s modest debut effort at Wolverhampton.
