Verdict

CAIUS MARCIUS was successful on his penultimate outing at Wetherby in March and ran well enough in a better race at Haydock subsequently to suggest he can take this contest. Trainer Ben Haslam can boast a 22% strike-rate (2/9) of late and his Call The Cops is sliding down the handicap following some poor runs and can claim second here ahead of Verona Opera who was second in a novice hurdle last time out.
