Capellini came up against an improving sort over 2m4f here last time but was well behind today's rivals HAWK GOLD and Al Amaan over course and distance in May. Michelle Bryant's gelding was clear of a number of today's rivals when chasing home the odds-on Sugar Hiccup at Fontwell last month and can go one better today as Brass Monkey has yet to reproduce the form of his victory at Stratford in June. Nebula Storm and Bazart were both well beaten in a Worcester seller last time and the latter is starting to look a light of former days.
