Verdict

Plenty of winning course form here with CAITLIN gaining reward for consistency with a comfortable track and trip victory last month. A 9lb rise makes this tougher but Wye Aye is up 12lb for winning by a similar margin at Huntingdon. Capard King hasn't been in the best of form but is now 3lb lower than when storming to an easy track and trip victory in December 2019. The veteran Westend Theatre won around here last month and found reverting to 2m4f against him at Hereford but So Satisfied hasn't won for over two years which is why he's 10lb lower.
