Verdict

LORD BRYAN has a good chance to complete a quick double here after winning nicely on similarly bottomless ground at Chepstow latest. Cap Horner must prove he is as effective over this sort of trip but in such ground they are hardly likely to go off fast and his stamina could be vital. Major Hindrance remains capable of better over fences so he isn't ruled out either.
  1. Lord Bryan
  2. Cap Horner
  3. Major Hindrance
