KAPGARRY was well on top when getting the better of a useful rival at Wetherby last month and he might be worth taking a chance on with more improvement expected. Nicky Henderson won this last year with a smart one and Pym is expected to improve on his recent Ascot second. Darlac made easy work of a return run at Fontwell and is another worth considering.
