CAPTAIN SHARPE appears to have plenty going for him here. He's best in at the weights, has a recent run under his belt and boasts the best two-year-old form. This contest is his for the taking if he stays today's longer trip. Dew Reward does stay but his best form has been over a mile, while Quite The Catch tries a longer journey for the first time after three modest efforts over 7f last year. The remainder have it all to do on today's terms with Certral looking the most likely to improve over the distance.
