Cape Hideaway is 9lb higher than when scoring over 2m4f here in May and heavy going is not ideal for either him or Clan Legend. The latter won off a higher mark over fences at Kelso during the summer and has won over hurdles before but a chance is taken on VERTIGO (NAP). Lucinda Russell’s charge failed to figure in a higher grade contest at Aintree last time but went close in testing ground at Perth before that and should make a bold bid with a similar effort. Minella Fiveo has a shout off his current mark if back to his best and Witness Time may finish closer now handicapping for the first time.
