Kapricone is upped a further 6lb as he bids for a hat-trick on the back of a double at Ffos Las. But runner-up Hector's House may well turn the tables on better terms. Always Bold finished second in an amateurs race at Stratford last time but has decent claims on his earlier placed effort at this track while Comical Red is usually thereabouts off his current mark. But it could pay to stick with JOHNS LUCK in this despite a penalty for winning at Taunton given he has scope for further progress now he has got his head in front.
