Verdict

CAPABILITY BROWN has been improving in leaps and bounds, looking a smart prospect when winning a Curragh maiden at the end of last month, and he can take this step up in grade in his stride. Stablemate Bengal Tiger also arrives on the back of a clear-cut maiden success and could be the main danger, ahead of Trean.
