Captain Cobajay has yet to place over hurdles but has won four times over fences, including twice this year for current connections. SWEEPING ROCK is in the veteran stage now but was a fair fourth at Worcester in June and making headway when brought down at Stratford last month. He obviously retains some ability and is receiving weight all round in a weak handicap. Last month’s Worcester third Minella Mojo goes well here so also makes the shortlist along with Al Kherb, who has been knocking on the door again lately. Seaborough was second here last week but is on a long losing run.
