Three representatives for one set of owners and if ORPENINDEED can translate his all weather form to turf, he should be too good for Caprio and Blue Noodles. Formerly trained by Marco Botti, he is now in the care of Tim Vaughan. Whether hurdling is on the agenda is another matter, but put simply, his handicap mark makes him unfeasible at that level and claimers look to be the way forward at present. Caprio needs little introduction. He won a weak claimer at Hamilton and seemingly has few issues about the going. Blue Noodles ran respectably enough behind Lang Shining over a mile at this course though he was to all and intents and purposes, well held. Flying Valentino won a handicap off 72 at this time of the season last year and Eddie Ahern is an interesting booking. Feeling Fragile has a bit to prove at the figures and is now in a first time visor. Orpenindeed should be able to make his class count.
