Verdict
LA CAPRIOSA is turned out quickly and she can see off Guto and Verinco. The Kyllachy filly is probably better on softer ground but there are few issues in relation to her matchfitness and while she is no gimme off her revised BHA rating, she is likely to struggle off it in the future. Guto has ability though has not always consented to use it. He was unable to win off a lower mark on the all-weather last time so looks best watched today. Verinco has the benefit of the rider taking 8lbs off the weight. He is far from straight forward though backers can be satisfied that the stable form is in the positive. Trick Or Two is an honest and workmanlike performer. He will go close. Kyzer Chief is a previous course-and-distance scorer and invariably is sent off as a well backed individual. La Capriosa should be too sharp for her rivals this afternoon.
