Verdict

Having progressed with each run as a 2-y-o, CAPTAIN FOX appeals as the type to do better again this year and he earns the vote with the step up to 1m expected to suit. Sovereign Bay is the main danger.

1	Improved with each run as a juvenile, runner-up over 7f here before third in 8-runner maiden at Newmarket in September, that despite still looking rough around the edges. Strong sort who promises to do better again as a 3-y-o having been gelded. 1st Pick 1 Captain Fox (Ire) Jockey: Finley Marsh Trainer: Richard Hughes J: Finley Marsh T: Richard Hughes	100	-	-	-	72%

3	New Bay gelding who showed plenty to work on when second in 10-runner Newcastle maiden (1m) at the start of the month, looking the likely winner before early exertions/know-how in finish told. Sure to progress. 2nd Pick 3 Sovereign Bay (Fr) Jockey: Hollie Doyle Trainer: Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole J: Hollie Doyle T: Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole	90	-	-	-	29%

2	Son of Dark Angel gelded before debut when never looked like justifying cramped odds in 7.2f novice at Wolverhampton. That experience won't have been wasted on him though, and he's a likely improver. 3rd Pick 2 Kokushoku (Ire) Jockey: Harry Davies Trainer: Simon & Ed Crisford J: Harry Davies T: Simon & Ed Crisford	75	-	-	-	19%
