Verdict
Captain Brown has ability but finds very little off the bridle and he's worth taking on here with PROMPTER. A decent sort on the Flat, lack of experience has cost him so far over timber but he's gradually getting his act together and he gets weight from his likely market rivals. An Capall Mor and Trop Fort could find this on the sharp side but Boxer Beat isn't without a chance on the pick of his form in Ireland and makes more appeal than the mare Boa.
