A tricky beginning but Cappananty Con is possibly best on the all-weather nowadays. Napping should strip fitter for a run at Brighton but last month’s Chepstow winner Ghepardo is hard to catch right and Red Bravo may still be a couple of pounds too high. Mark Loughnane also runs Leo Davinci but Lingfield runner-up Molly Shaw makes more appeal as she won on good to soft at Yarmouth last year. TYGER BAY will also handle conditions and he can confirm recent improvement with another victory.
