Verdict
Court Jurado finished nine lengths ahead of Secret Melody when second at Southwell on Monday and a repeat effort would see him in the firing-line, though he was behind Getawaytonewbay previously at Bangor. Cawthorne was upsides the winner when falling at the last at Market Rasen last month while Captain Speaking may make a better chaser than hurdler but VEILED SECRET found only one too good at Musselburgh on his chasing bow and had excuses at Catterick subsequently. He’s had wind surgery but has been given plenty of time to adjust to new surroundings and can make a winning start for Tom Symonds if fully wound-up.
