Jonjo O’Neill should never be underestimated with his staying chasers and it may be worth forgiving CAPARD KING a below par run last time out. He has very little to find on the pick of his form and may have too much resilience for Port Mellon and Royal Palladium. 1. Capard King 2. Port Melon 3. Royal Palladium
