Capton made all for a comfortable success at Sandown last time and is upped 5lb as he bids for a hat-trick. Jupiter Light also won at Sandown during the summer but has been raised a further 6lb for finishing second last time while Compton Mill narrowly beat Indian Chief over track and trip a fortnight ago but the latter disappointed back here last week. Empress Ali is not out of this but connections will be hoping the forecast rain arrives for AWAKE MY SOUL as the latter ended a long losing run when scoring in soft ground at Haydock last time and a couple of winners have come out of the race.
