Verdict

Kapstadt made mistakes on his fencing bow at Stratford and was soon beaten but he should be capable of better. Good ground suits Going For Broke, who has already won twice over fences. Reverting to 2m shouldn't be a problem and he'll be bang there with a clear round but the five-year-old DAREBIN made a very encouraging start over the larger obstacles here earlier this month and can put that experience to good use today. Stratford third Valhalla can't be ignored but a shorter trip around here may not be in his favour. Floresco may be best watched after a break while Robinshill has something to prove at present.
