      Verdict

      Capitalise could find the winning habit hard to give up and can deny Bridgewater Boys his hat-trick in a typically competitive handicap. The selection had gone twenty five races without the sweet taste of success before winning here in February but followed up with consummate ease earlier in the month. His style will make it difficult for the handicapper to catch up with him whereas it would be no surprise if the 3lb rise that has been handed to Bridgewater Boys proved enough to anchor that one. Saraba is unexposed and has yet to finish out of the first two on an artificial surface including at this venue and she may well have more to offer. Site Sentry is also unexposed whilst Play Up Pompey looks to be on the verge of a return to form but we do like the look of Capitalise.
