CAPONE held on by only a nose at Huntingdon last time but is still improving and today’s opposition looks distinctly modest. Jembug Drummer was still beaten a long way when third in a bumper at Hexham last month and Statuario had little chance in a Grade 1 juvenile contest at Aintree last time and ran accordingly. Better is expected at this level but the remainder are hard to recommend.
