    Verdict

    CAPONE impressed here last time out and can win again under his 6lb penalty; Gone Hunting and the consistent Bahamian Lad could prove to be the horses to fear. Hayley Turner has developed a good relationship with this son of Daggers Drawn, with two placed efforts and a win from their last three runs together. It was a cheeky success here just nine days ago and from a nice draw today another bold bid is expected. Gone Hunting has a first start for Jeff Pearce and any market support would look interesting, Ray Of Joy should appreciate a strong pace but she looks poorly handicapped, whilst Bahamian Lad receives no slack from the handicapper due to his consistency. Vhujon bounced back to form behind the selection last time out and has a 6lb pull in the weights, Methaaly is closely linked with a few of these on his solid third to Fathsta, whilst Zegna broke his duck here last time and this consistent gelding cannot be overlooked, despite a reassessed handicap mark that is 6lb higher. Course and distance winners Lujeanie and Dvinsky need considering, however the vote is given to Capone.
