No shortage of chances in the finale but low-mileage CITY CAPTAIN confirmed he remains one to be interested in when a strong finishing fourth at Southwell (6f) 15 days ago and he could be the way to go with his record on turf standing at 3-3 for present connections. Woodstock, on the back of his near miss at Ripon and Rock Opera are others to consider. Knebworth and Daring Legend complete the shortlist.
