Cape of Storms, Savile's Delight and Maiden Investor are the three we like here and the vote is given to Cape of Storms. The selection was only narrowly beaten by Silver Hotspur last time at Southwell, form that reads well in the context of this race. He is a model of consistency and from a good draw he can get his head in front. Savile's Delight wasn't beaten far last time and he has got the plum draw here so he is certainly afforded plenty of respect. Maiden Investor was slowly away which probably cost her any hope of winning last time, but she has been drawn in the car park here which will not aid her chance. Prettilini shaped with a bit more encouragement last time and is worth a look in the market, but we prefer the claims of Cape Of Storms who gets the vote.
