Race preview
It could pay to stick with the progressive CIAO CAPO, who ended last season with a victory and had a subsequent winner back in third when scoring nicely over 1m2f at Beverley most recently. That was is first start over 1m2f and, with further improvement a distinct possibility, he can go in again. Dalamara looks worth a try over this trip having found one too good over a mile at Ripon, while Doncaster fourth Haltonwood has plenty of scope.
