        Verdict

        CAPLA SPIRIT is the most exposed of these but also has the strongest form having found one too good over 6f here last time and he was beaten only a head over course and distance before that. He gets the vote ahead of Sweet Talked, who debuts on the surface after placing at Lingfield albeit a long way behind the winner. Intrepid Italian is a likely improver on the back of a modest debut effort at Chepstow last year and Speedymining finished closer last time while local trainer Scott Dixon runs the newcomer Capricious Madam, a half-sister to a winner on the Fibresand.
