CAPTAINOFTHEFLEET is comfortably the pick on the form he showed early last season and though a long absence is a concern he has to get the nod. Pivotal Rock and Gold Mirage both made their racecourse debuts in the race won by Barrow Island at Dundalk and will have come on for the run. The latter in particular will be much better suited by this longer trip and looks a threat. Dermot Weld's newcomer Humiliation is a daughter of Cape Cross out of a mare who won a Listed contest over 1m2f so this trip should prove ideal and she's one to keep an eye on.
