VHUJON has slipped to a handy mark now and can take this for the in-form David Evans, while Caprio is respected. The Welsh handler has his runners in tremendous form and course and distance scorer Vhujon relishes the prevailing fast ground, and aside from his most recent run he has been very consistent this campaign. The trip is his optimum and we will side with him today. Caprio is upped just 3lbs for winning at Goodwood over this trip last time. He too is a consistent performer and is expected to be thereabouts. We Have A Dream showed a return to form last time but the handicapper put him up 2lbs for losing that day and he is therefore not entirely attractive today. Misaro is a good old servant to Ron Harris and is now 1lb below his most recent winning mark, so he should be able to show more than of late, though Vhujon is the selection.
