This ties in with the first division as CAPTAIN DIMITRIOS finished third behind stablemate Nubar Boy, who runs in the previous race, over C&D last Saturday. David Evans' charge gets a speculative vote to go in here and reverse earlier running with Waabel while confirming superiority with Forty Proof and Fantasy Fighter in the process. Dreams Of Glory is interesting on his reappearance as he recorded a hat-trick at Bath last summer and should be thereabouts if primed for action, while My Lord and Hoover have the past form to figure.
