CAPTAIN NAVARRE is one of a pair of hat-trick seekers here and his recent 2m AW form has been excellent and given how he handled a 6lb rise latest he should take another 4lb in his stride today. The decision to step Island Brave up fully 4f despite him winning his last two is interesting and this ex-French trained entire could still have plenty more to come. Also entering the argument is Rydan who ran a much better race last time when upped to 2m for the first time.
