Clearly Capable didn’t show much over fences in Ireland but has been placed a couple of times over hurdles recently and this won’t take much winning. BY RAIL made a bold attempt to make all last time at Warwick. He has his limitations but is only four and at the right end of the handicap so could last home today. Ballyantics’ luck could change now he tackles fences but The Herds Garden may need this and jumping has become an issue with Comber Mill.
