Verdict
Captain K is lightly-raced and Gordon Elliott's sole runner at the meeting so is worth a market check. SECRET LIGHTNING's recent revival culminated in a victory over 7f here last month and he's only 3lb higher – a follow up may be on the cards. Frozon should also go well and Just Isla has been knocking on the door again lately. Mrs Biggs usually races over 7f but she has placed form over a mile so should last home and she's dropped to a decent mark.
