    Verdict

    CAPTAIN LARS had Classic Pursuit more than four lengths adrift when winning a handicap at Chelmsford last month. Archie Watson’s eight-year-old is only a pound worse off so should comfortably confirm that form. It’s difficult to make a case for either Alkashaaf or Fantasy Justifier on these terms against the top weight.

    Formwatch

    Captain Lars (SAF) 9-2 (10-0) Soon led, headed over 2f out, rallied over 1f out, weakened final furlong, last of 7, 6 3/4l behind Excellent George (9-9) at Chelmsford City 6f hcp (4) pol in Mar.

    Alkashaaf (USA) 66-1 (9-0) Held in rear, ridden and well beaten over 2f out, last of 8, 11 3/4l behind King of Nepal (9-3) at Kempton 7f hcp (4) pol in Jan.

    Classic Pursuit 6-1 (9-6) Reared slightly start, outpaced in last, went 3rd towards finish, never dangerous, 3rd of 4, 4 1/4l behind Captain Lars (9-10) at Chelmsford City 5f hcp (4) pol in Feb.

    Fantasy Justifier (IRE) 4-1 (9-3) With leaders, led over 3f out, ridden and headed final furlong, soon weakened, 8th of 9, 8 1/4l behind Fareeq (9-5) at Chelmsford City 6f hcp (6) pol in Jan.
