Capitoul hasn’t raced since falling at Wetherby in January and today’s going may not be soft enough for the top weight. Salto Chisco has done well back over hurdles in recent months and boasts a solid strike-rate while Argus had a recent spin on the Flat. Lord Fendale has his first run for a new yard after a lengthy absence, however, and Barman hasn’t been firing. It’s no surprise that Will Kennedy has chosen DERINTOHER YANK over the disappointing William Of Orange. Donald McCain’s first string is now 6lb lower than when second over course and distance in May having raced over longer trips since.
