Verdict

Captain Dimitrios was gaining his first all-weather victory on his 16th start here last week and a 5lb rise looks a little harsh. Waabel, who finished a close third, should get much closer on these terms. Speak The Truth caught Efistorm in the final strides here a week ago and a big run from the runner-up in the first division will boost his chances. Rio Royale attempted to make all in that race but faded when headed at the furlong pole. ALDERMOOR came back from a break to score when fancied at Kempton in September. He's only had three subsequent runs and looks to have been given a chance here by the assessor so gets the vote.
