Capla Crusader finished in front of previous winner Compass Point when scoring over track and trip though is 7lb higher today and upped in class. STOPNSEARCH makes more appeal as he had the measure of Convertible when beaten only a short-head over course and distance and Brett Johnson’s charge can return to winning ways. A winner in France, Aztec Dreams ran well on his debut for new connections and will likely improve while Avorisk Et Perils is preferred to stablemate Bealach and Amsby makes his handicap debut.
