This is for horses who have never finished in the first three but EL CAPITAINE was only just out of the money at Leopardstown last month and can improve further. I Am Rocco has twice finished fourth though beaten a long way while Malton Groove ran a shocker here last time though may have found 2m6f too far after a promising previous run. Buddy One has started at huge prices in three strong maidens and should find this more to his liking.
