      Verdict

      Cabeza De Vaca was far from disgraced when returning from a long break at Epsom two weeks ago, and should strip fitter for the outing. He did little wrong on that occasion and should be up to winning a race of this nature. However, it is worth noting that he was well supported last time out and may not be one to take too short a price about as he bids to heal some well burnt fingers. The step back to seven furlongs may not be ideal for Caper and he is not hard to overlook here. Therefore the Ed Dunlop-trained pair, Rocket Force and Shuhood appeal as the main dangers, with the booking of Richard Hughes just persuading TEAMtalk to side with former on grounds of value.
