    Verdict

    This looks a penalty kick for Il Capitano, he was a good second behind Mighty Montifalco last time out, is proven on the ground and he need only jump around to score. Rose Tina looks the only conceivable danger she was second behind Lady Turk last time out. However that winner has since been beating and even in receipt of 23 pounds from Il Capitano she looks to have plenty to do. The remaining runners have all failed to complete on there last two starts and are readily opposed.
