Lord Capulet

9st 9lb

J: Jack Nicholls

T: Kevin Ryan

Front-runner who's won five already this year, the first four over C&D; a 5lb rise for his latest turf victory under 5lb claimer Jack Nicholls demands more but such has been his rate of progress he may well be up to it.

Lord Capulet

9st 9lb

J: Jack Nicholls

T: Kevin Ryan

Front-runner who landed his fourth 7f Newcastle success of the year when seeing off 13 rivals last month; his 2lb nudge for that is offset by his rider's claim; 0-4 on turf but probably a bit premature to suggest he won't prove fully effective on the grass.

J: Kevin Stott

T: Kevin Ryan

Front-runner who won three in a row over C&D at the start of the year; finished out the back behind Anthropologist here last month but he didn't lead in that race and raced freely after being crowded in the pack; this is another competitive event but he has possibilities if he can bounce back.

Form & Verdict
Heavily backed when winning a 6f handicap here a fortnight ago; beaten a neck in his follow-up bid on Saturday (also 6f), travelling strongly but not quite able to reel in the winner; effective at this longer trip and likely to get a pace to run at; should go well.

Form & Verdict
Failed to win in 12 starts for Jane Chapple-Hyam but showed promise at a modest level and he hasn't enjoyed much luck with the draw this winter; latest Kempton second, where beaten only by a well-handicapped horse who had returned from Hong Kong, was up there with his best form; cheekpieces worn there now discarded by new stable (sold for 13,000gns this month); respected despite a 3lb rise.

Just 1-20 on turf and below par at Lingfield (7f, good) last Tuesday, but prior to that he finished close-up twice in a row here (6f/7f, good to firm) and he can be bang there if leaving last time behind.
