This doesn’t look a particularly deep event and connections appear to have found a good opportunity for C&D winner CAPTAIN TOM CAT to follow up that win having impressed when beating a subsequent winner last time. French maiden Flat winner Light In The Sky was given a considerate introduction over hurdles last time over C&D and should improve for that experience and looks the main danger. One or two will be worth watching for handicaps in the future amongst them Joie De Vivre and Employer. Wbee a bumper winner in the past ought to figure but will need to jump better than he did on his hurdles debut.
