5/2

Course winner. Respectable seventh of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 4/1) 28 days ago, left poorly placed. Could resume winning ways with De Sousa taking over in the saddle.

Capla Crusader (5/2), My Brother Mike (9/2), Born To Finish (15/2), Coverham (8/1), Cape Greco (17/2), Red Jasper (9/1), Commit No Nuisance (11/1), Dancing Rave (11/1), The Game Is On (22/1), Takeonefortheteam (25/1), Celestial Bliss (80/1), Hamaron (150/1)

CAPLA CRUSADER has won here over 10f and he could be forgiven his run at Wolverhampton last time when poorly placed. He makes plenty of appeal with De Sousa taking over from an apprentice. My Brother Mike is in good form and has to be taken seriously at present. Coverham is a consistent all-weather type that may make the frame.
