Verdict

CAPTAIN CESS is unexposed at this sort of trip and the evidence of his recent Wetherby third suggests he might be particularly well suited by the return to 7f on just his second start for the Carroll yard. War Memorial and course specialist Rain Cap are also shortlisted.

3	Campaigned over 1m last season but ran his best race yet dropped to a sprint trip when close second of 12 on 6f Chepstow return last month (final start for Adrian Wintle). Seemed somewhat caught out for pace when a keeping-on third at Wetherby (5.5f) last time and he has to be respected up in trip. 1st Pick 3 Captain Cess (Ire) Jockey: Zak Wheatley Trainer: Declan Carroll J: Zak Wheatley T: Declan Carroll	100	-	-	-	27%	Scratched

5	Confirmed return to form when off the mark at Musselburgh (7f, good) in April. Didn't fire in first-time cheekpieces at Doncaster next time but swiftly back to form with headgear discarded when third of 11 back at Musselburgh (1m, good to firm) 16 days ago, finishing clear of the rest. Considered. 2nd Pick 5 War Memorial Jockey: Conor Whiteley Trainer: Lawrence Mullaney J: Conor Whiteley T: Lawrence Mullaney	97	-	-	-	42%

6	Four-time course winner was placed twice at Wolverhampton in the spring but ran below form after a 10-week break at Carlisle (6f, good) last week. Type to bounce back at a track where he goes well. 3rd Pick 6 Rain Cap Jockey: Ethan Tindall Trainer: John David Riches J: Ethan Tindall T: John David Riches	94	-	-	-	12%
