Red Cape has struggled in handicaps of late but is usually in the mix in plating company and looks a leading contender. ANGELO POLIZIANO may just edge this, however, as he was beaten only a head in a seller at Redcar last month and is racing back at the same level for the first time since. Northern Bolt throws in the odd good effort when he feels like it but the remainder have a bit to find on today's terms including recent Ayr winner Argentine.
