Capitalise was just touched off here last week and can go one better in this similar contest, Teorban and Pocket Too look to be the main rivals. Vince Smith's charge ran well from out of the handicap in that contest and might well have won but for hanging. He has yet to open his account, but has now been runner-up on three occasions and his turn may come today. Teorban is another with seconditus, but has met two progressive types, he should go close again despite top-weight. Pocket Too was very unlucky in running last time out and this recent Lingfield winner should go close today if getting the breaks. Come What Augustus is one that could go well at a big price, but Capitalise wouldn't be winning out of turn here and he gets our vote.
