    Verdict

    Captain Cuckoo is a long-standing maiden and is unlikely to improve that record here. Koi Dodville was no match for FLANN here 12 days ago and Fergal O’Brien’s course specialist has the ground in his favour again so may prove too strong for last week’s easy Market Rasen winner Hiway One O Three, who shoulders a penalty.
