Verdict
C&D winner CAPITAL GUARANTEE was well supported when back to something like his best last time and looks well-treated under a penalty. He can land the double at the expense of Mysteryofthesands who is now below his last winning mark, while Ramon Di Loria arrives in great heart and could be a danger if settling back at 7f.
