    Verdict

    Lord Caprio landed a double at the track back in November and returns to action raised 7lb. But MR CARBONATOR is preferred as he followed a Wolverhampton success with a victory in a higher grade handicap than this at Southwell - the hat-trick beckons for Philip Kirby’s charge. Bad Dog went close over 7f here last time and has shout with an apprentice’s 5lb allowance in his favour but the remaining pair are harder to fancy.
