Verdict
Horn Cape escaped a penalty for winning at Sedgefield earlier but disappointed back at the same track last time. DARE TO SHOUT makes more appeal as he faced a tougher task than this at Aintree on his latest start having earlier won at Hexham and was winning over track and trip back in March. Lebowski returned a beaten favourite at Chepstow when running without the stated tongue-tie and may do better today while War Soldier returns to action having placed here earlier in the year.
