Verdict
CAPTAINRISK can provide Marco Botti with another winner and he is put forward to beat Final Salute and Emirates World. The selection ran a bit green but still won at Wolverhampton last month when he beat Grand Honour. He remains unexposed so there should be more to come and as he beat a fairly reliable yardstick that day then he looks to hold solid form claims. Final Salute won at Windsor last summer but he is returning from a break, tackling this trip and racing on the fibresand for the first time so he does have a few questions to answer. Emirates World won at Lingfield but then disappointed at Kempton last time and on a form line through Grand Honour he looks to have a bit to find with the selection. Hawkspring has had plenty of chances and is readily opposed, leaving Captainrisk as our idea of the winner.
