      Verdict

      Alcatraz was beaten only a head over track and trip recently and has decent claims. Sky Cape showed progressive form in 2015 but has not raced since while EVERY CHANCE (NAP) won a maiden in the same year but has a recent comeback run under his belt. He finished a length behind runner-up Hairdryer at Wolverhampton but should be sharper today and Jamie Osborne’s charge is fancied to reverse running. Kingthistle is upped in class and Archangel Raphael remains out of form.
