CAP D'AUBOIS has been contesting better races than this contest in recent runs and can take this upped to 3m for the first time today. The selection was well beaten off a mark of 140 in January but is rated a fair bit higher than his rivals in this and can get the better of Prince Garyantle who has been in decent form so far this year with Thanks For Tea taken to finish third.
