CAPRI has been mixing it at the highest level and though he's come nowhere near to replicating his earlier form this represents a drop in class. His stable companion Cypress Creek finished in front of him in the Irish St Leger over 1m6f here last time and he's capable of adding to his two victories. That latter event was won by Search For A Song, trained by Dermot Weld, who has the very progressive Kastasa engaged here. She's completed a hat-trick of handicap victories over slightly shorter and is up against better opposition. She has nothing to fear from Eminent Authority on that latest run at Leopardstown while Moteo hasn't won since a successful debut last August but is another who has been competing at a higher level.
