Verdict
Capilla was allowed an easy lead at Lingfield on Tuesday and never looked like being caught. But the grey has a 7lb penalty here against stronger opposition with MARDEN COURT a big danger on his second at Exeter with pilot Mikey Legg the most experienced amateur riding in this. Matrow's Lady gained a confidence-boosting victory at Fontwell and should figure but Sergeant Dick and Head Spin appear out of sorts. Saint Breiz is a previous course winner, however, and is looking very well treated at present.
