Verdict
Potenza drops down in trip raised 5lb after landing a double over 2m at Kempton while Monsaraz finished runner-up over a shorter trip at the same track. Winklevi won in Jersey before placing over track and trip and Captain Haddock has won a couple of amateur races this year. MOLIWOOD scored over today’s distance in August and has been racing in a higher grade than this since. He also won on Tapeta during the summer and Marco Botti’s charge gets the vote back at this lower level.
