Capilla was beaten under a penalty on a return visit to Ffos Las last month and looks vulnerable again here. Ashford Wood hasn't raced since a beaten favourite at Limerick in June when with another trainer while Justanother Muddle and Shadow Cruise will probably have to improve on the form they've shown so far to get involved, though that isn't out of the question. BAR A MINE was odds-on when beaten by Amore Alto here in April but the winner has shown himself to be a fine prospect and Paul Nicholls' four-year-old can go one better today. Rebecca Curtis' bumper horses always warrant a second look on this track and Presenting gelding Keep Presenting is no exception.
