Theatre Street has won over distance before and Aakef has tasted success here in the past but it is the inform CAPTAIN CAREY we turn to. The selection has been impressive of late, winning his last two outings. The yard of Malcolm Saunders do well with this type and the gelding looks capable of more. Theatre Street is effective at this trip and looks fairly treated here. The low draw shouldn't be a problem for her on this track and the going should suit on this her debut across the turf. Her yard are in decent form of late and she should make the frame here. Michael Jarvis' Aakef makes a return to the track after a seven month absence. The gelding has recorded a victory here in the past and the going should suit today and though returning from a break can find him-self making the money in such modest company. Mazzola comes from a yard doing well he seems exposed but may be better than bare from suggests. A market check is advised for the rest with many returning from long breaks so it¿s Captain Carey who looks best to us.
