Verdict

The betting suggested CAPTAIN PEACOCK would make a winning reappearance at Windsor a fortnight ago and he duly obliged. He’s back up in class today but hasn’t finished improving yet and Jim Crowley partnered him to all three wins last year. Wealth Tax is upped in distance for his handicap debut having found one too good in all three starts last season and may well prove the main danger. Camakasi won here in January but has struggled since while Take Two looks to be treading water off similar marks.
