Cape Colony looks to be the stables first string on jockey bookings and for that reason is taken to win again at the expense of his two stable companions Hadron Collider and King Supreme. It¿s not an impossibility that the Hannon stable could have the first three home here but Cape Colony looks the form pick having won three times this season already. His latest win at Pontefract means he has risen six pounds in the ratings so has his stiffest task to date and with the ground on the testing side he has work on his plate. That said he is the form of his life right now and if able to act on the surface he is difficult to oppose. Hadron Collider won an ordinary looking race at Kempton last time out. Prior to that he had shown a modest amount of ability in competitive handicaps and a place is as much as he can hope for here. King Supreme on the other hand could be well treated after showing a decent form in his last five outings. He has a nice racing weight and will pose as the biggest danger to Cape Colony who we feel has the form to win.
