A valuable race well supported and Capricorn Run can account for Councellor and Chicken Soup. Capricorn Run has been in good nick over the last few months and with a helpful draw tonight, he should take the beating. Councellor has improved greatly in recent weeks. He has won here previously over eight furlongs in the past and credit should go to Stef Liddiard for getting three wins in quick succession. Chicken Soup had recent away days at Dundalk. He should be pretty straight now. Hold up performer Bonus would have in our thoughts from a better draw. He is perfectly capable if securing plenty of luck in running. Big Timer has big questions to answer on his latest starts. Andronikus has been campaigned over six furlongs of late and represents the very much in form Paul Cole stable. Capricorn Run deserves this big pot for his consistency over the autumn and has conditions to suit tonight.
