Capitaine won one of these events at Leicester but has 10lb to find on these terms with GESSKILLE. The import from France scored at Ludlow last month on his debut for Oliver Greenall and first outing since August and there should be more to come. West Approach shares the same rating as the selection and won at Wincanton back in February but the remaining pair look up against it.
