It was soft ground when Captain Clayton went close at Newcastle in January and BREAKING BITS (NAP) is preferred on today’s going. The latter failed to prevent the progressive San Satiro from going in again at Wincanton last time but can go one better in this having won off a higher mark last term. Lowcarr Motion was still beaten eight lengths when runner-up over course and distance last month but should be sharper today and makes more appeal than the struggling Call The Cops.
