Verdict

CAPTAIN NAVARRE never figured in a Class 3 contest on his handicap debut but had gone close in a maiden race at Doncaster earlier. Rated 85, he should have enough to get the better of Kempton runner-up Faith Matters and Adele as the latter pair make their seasonal debuts. Sea Of Red and Covert Love are likely improvers while the newcomer Money Printer is related to a couple of middle-distance winners.
