Verdict

CIAO CAPO remains unexposed over this sort of trip and can follow up his Beverley success. Stepanov is in good hands to progress and could feature prominently on just his second start in a handicap, while Skirt Around looks interesting with Oisin Murphy taking over.

4	Expensive yearling who still looked to be learning with third of 11 on handicap bow at Nottingham last time. Should continue to go the right way with experience and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him in the mix here. 2nd Pick 4 Stepanov (Ire) Jockey: Callum Rodriguez Trainer: Edward Bethell J: Callum Rodriguez T: Edward Bethell	93	-	-	-	34%

6	American-bred filly who failed to improve for the switch to handicaps (on the back of a breathing operation) when last of 8 at Newcastle on her return, though the booking of Oisin Murphy suggests she's probably thought capable of better. 3rd Pick 6 Skirt Around (Usa) Jockey: Oisin Murphy Trainer: Philip Kirby J: Oisin Murphy T: Philip Kirby	91	-	-	-	6%
