Captain Dunne was a 25/1 chance when landing this a year ago and Tim Easterby will be hoping Soul Brother can repeat the process in first-time blinkers. Singeur has only won once since 2012 and is better on fast ground but Rita's Boy ran very well behind Tumblewind here on Sunday and has been left on the same mark. Free Zone was having his first start for David O'Meara in that race and can be expected to improve while Long Awaited invariably performs at a much higher level and is generally thereabouts but hasn't won since 2012 and is only 1lb lower. JAARIH has only won at Southwell but was having only his third race on Turf when a close fourth at Windsor last time so gets the nod in a tricky finale.
