Verdict

CAPE FEAR is taken to build on his latest Bath third over this trip and provide Andrew Balding with a second success in this maiden in the last 3 years. Three No Trumps will be a danger if recapturing the level of last year's debut. Al Maslool has also shown promise, while a market move for one or more of the newcomers would also bring them into the reckoning.
