It may be too early to completely dismiss the frustrating Caracciola but Nicky Henderson's gelding as not shown any worthwhile form for some time so may be best watched in a race where the safest bet looks to be Harry Potter, who is preferred to Fait Le Jojo. The last mentioned sprung a surprise when landing odds of 33/1 on his first start for current connections at Fontwell last time but he has to concede plenty of weight away all round and that may be enough to prevent him from scoring again. Kalambari refused to race last week so is not one to trust, while Give Me Love would need to improve on the evidence of his reappearance effort. Both Guru and Master Rex are likely to need their first start of the campaign and a better bet looks to be Harry Potter who comes into this in good form, remains feasibly well treated and receives weight all round.
