Captain Kelly scored by almost 20 lengths when long odds-on at Wincanton but had previously looked one-paced and he may struggle to follow up here with SCOTER FONTAINE among the opposition. Rebecca Curtis' charge has been taking on much stiffer opposition since winning over 2m4f here in March. Never Says Never was flattered by his proximity to Tistory at Towcester but still looks the pick of the remainder ahead of Moon Devil.
