Verdict
Capital Guarantee has won all three starts since joining David O’Meara though is upped 6lb for last month’s Epsom success. RED MAIDS landed a double under William Buick when scoring at Haydock. She has an 8lb hike to contend with but won convincingly despite running into trouble on numerous occasions and may still prove ahead of the handicapper. Ararat has won on the July course here and is preferred to Magical Merlin and Alpha Capture of the remainder.
