Captiva Island is not going to get many better opportunities to shed his maiden tag and can probably be excused his latest run on heavy going at Fakenham – the cheekpieces are dispensed with today. But LEOSTAR, a former Godolphin inmate who once changed hands for 90,000 gns, has shown enough in bumpers to suggest he’ll pay his way over hurdles in this grade. Tildas Icon has already been placed on the Flat and over hurdles this year and appeared to find 2m4f too far last month at Hexham, though is now 0-17 in career starts.
