Verdict

Mr Orange is a standing dish here but was well below par over track and trip two weeks ago and has more than four lengths to find with Mayelf. Dream Together was even further behind but is a past course and distance winner, as is After John who has had a light campaign this year. CAPE COLUMBUS (NAP) didn’t really enjoy heavy going on his handicap debut at Leicester and is better judged on earlier placed efforts in decent novice company. He is easily the least exposed of these and can get off the mark today.
