Cappananty Con has been second in three of his five all-weather starts but Dean Ivory’s maiden has to give weight to several recent winners. Gentleman Giles and Mr Strutter finished first and second over course and distance nine days ago and there should be little between the pair on today’s terms. Magdalene Fox was successful over track and trip a couple of days earlier but has another 5lb to carry now. SCOTCH MYST has only won on Fibresand so far but wasn’t beaten far on this surface in November and has undoubtedly improved since - Richard Fahey’s colt gets the nod.
