In depth
Verdict
Lady Caprice is proven at this level and beat subsequent Southwell scorer Sonko at Catterick last month. Hanagan's presence in the saddle suggests she won't be far away here. Rougini has been placed three times in maidens and is another with solid claims if a first-time visor has the desired effect but we'll take a chance on the improving WISH AGAIN. Dandy Nicholls' gelding has to concede weight all round but made eye-catching late headway after missing the break when third at Beverley on his second start and may be a bit better than a plater.
