Verdict
EXCUSE TO LINGER found only subsequent handicap winner Titled Gent too good over C&D last month. She was five lengths clear of the rest of the field and can add to her stable's excellent strike rate at this track. Captain McCaw had shaped better on his debut at Folkestone than he did at Salisbury last time but may be thereabouts while Carina Palace looks capable of improving past the likes of Hit The Lights and Layla's Oasis. Enzaal is a half-brother to a winner and any strong support for him on his debut could prove significant.
