Verdict
Kapamazov may progress now handicapping but Sam Thomas’ horses are running really well and JUST OVER LAND (NAP) can be forgiven his run over an extra half-mile at Chepstow in April – Sam Twiston-Davies is back on board. Lelant, on the other hand, probably needs further while Damask and Loukarak would need to improve markedly to land this.
