After winning here over 6f last month, Qaaraat found only one too good at Chelmsford last Thursday so is in good form at present. But CAPTAIN RYAN thrives over this course and distance and win number five on the track could be on the cards if the nine-year-old breaks smartly from a wide draw. Red Allure has already won twice over track and trip this year so is respected and a case can also be made for William Buick’s mount A Go Go and Amberine.
