Verdict

Kenny The Captain is on a higher mark than when prevailing in last year's renewal but has fared well since in some good races and has to be considered with his apprentice's claim helping. RANTAN gets a narrow verdict in a tricky contest on the basis that he didn't get the clearest of runs in a good Ripon handicap when a very promising third and over a proven C&D there may be more to come for his current trainer. Venturous and Top Boy are likely to go well again but both remain hard to win with.
