Verdict
Cape Schanck should improve and is taken to land the opener at the expense of Supa Sal, Arch Of Titus and Spanish Air. The selection was eye catching on his debut at Kempton when second beaten one and a half lengths by Sandbuch. He looked slightly green that day and a little one paced in the closing stages but with fitness and experience now on his side he looks the horse to keep on the right side of. Newcomers Arch Of Titus, Inflagrantedelicto and Supa Sal all come from top quality yards so any market moves for either of these three should be noted. Spanish Air has not set the world alight on any of her three runs but again experience can count for quite a lot in these types of races so is worth noting. But for the winner we return to Cape Schanck.
