Tha'ir makes a quick reappearance having failed to run his race at Wolverhampton a couple of days ago. He has a shout on his earlier form at that track when runner-up ahead of Nonios, who has been beaten again since. Rainbow Rebel continues to prove hard to win with and returns to 1m2f but CAPTAIN PUGWASH (NAP) looks to have an easier task than his latest outing here and a bold bid is expected today reunited with winning partner Liam Keniry. Manchego has only his second start for new connections and is worth noting having slipped further down the weights.
