The veteran Toufan Express had dropped to a very lowly mark when scoring here on Wednesday and a 5lb penalty won't prevent another big effort with Ian Brennan's claim a bonus. Capitol Hill was only third of four behind Lucky Kitten on the same day but still ran well though it's VASONI who looks the one to be on. She only runs on ground with plenty of give and with conditions in her favour and a recent victory at Sligo behind her she can gain the fourth victory of her career. Landsdowne has won just once in 19 starts while the teenage Fit The Cove ran poorly here on Tuesday on his 97th start.
