Verdict
CAPILLA is progressing well enough to shrug off a double penalty in this company. Evan Williams' charge has won in testing ground at Lingfield and Wincanton already this month and doubts surround today's opposition including recent winner Derryogue. The latter won on fast going at Leicester last month and carries 7lb extra while Toowoomba may need more time to come good again having been well beaten on his return to action at Chepstow. Mor Brook and Ciceron are both struggling at present and hard to fancy though the latter has tumbled down the weights as a consequence.
