Verdict
This looks a good opportunity for CAPTAIN DIMITRIOS. He's struggled against better horses in a couple of claimers at Kempton recently but is difficult to oppose on today's terms. His chances are further enhanced by Matthew Cosham's 7lb allowance and he should take care of Dundalk winner Eternal Youth. The latter could figure if at his best, but he hasn't shown it in two starts so far this year. Lovat Lane makes most appeal of the remainder who look up against it at the weights.
