Capofaro continues to defy the handicapper and is raised a further 4lb after scoring at Wolverhampton. But third-placed Kingdom Of Dubai re-opposes on more favourable terms and it would be no surprise to see the latter turn the tables. Padura Brave’s winning run came to an end here in November though she’s not out of this and Reasoned may also figure on his handicap bow. But Charlie Fellowes sent out a handicap debutant to win last year’s renewal and CIRCLE OF STARS may well prove good enough stepping up in trip today after finishing behind higher-rated horses than these in novice company at Wetherby last time.
