Verdict

Plenty of course specialists here but it's CAPTAIN BOB (NAP), who has only run once on the surface, who gets the vote. He's been well supported on several occasions lately, including when beaten a neck by Treaty Of Rome here in March, and is taken to go one better. Viva Verglas, Monsieur Jimmy and Fortinbrass were all behind that day and all have been in good form subsequently so the form should hold up. Big Amigo has won three times here and is just 4lb higher than his
