Course winner BRAVE KINGDOM figures off a handy mark and signalled a return to form at Taunton last month. He can land the spoils. Eldorado Allen rarely runs a bad race in these events and could provide the chief threat, whilst market support for Capodanno on his debut for Neil Mulholland may prove significant.
