Hugo Palmer does well on his rare visits here and relies upon BANISH in a contest which looks less competitive than the races he has contested since scoring at Kempton during the winter. A run at Doncaster last month will have him spot on for this and he is taken to account for the impressive Haydock winner Caponova and Energia Fox. The latter represents an owner who loves to have winners here and she arrives in form and on a good handicap mark.
