Magic River may need this but will have his ground. Kapsize weakened quickly once headed at Warwick but Hab Sab returns to the scene of his only victory so far under Rules in March and is only 4lb higher. SIMON THE GREAT didn’t reproduce the form of an earlier third at Stratford when only fourth at Southwell in August but he’s had just the two runs over fences so may be capable of more improvement than most.
