Our view

Best selection: Captain Cool. Recent figures of 1311 – won last time; a – today's going, trip and track suit what it has shown before; 36 days since its last run, a sensible gap; trainer Jennie Candlish has had 50 winners from 311 runners in our recent records.

The case against: handicap marks are meant to level the field; we can't yet confirm how it handles good to firm ground from our own records.

Others to consider: Singapore Trip and In The Air.
