FormscanBy Michael Graham - CAPPACON put in a solid effort when runner-up at Down Royal and has prospects of getting involved. That race was won by a heavily eased-down winner but 13-year-old Cappacon finished well clear of the remainder and, notably, the race has thrown up three subsequent winners. He has each-way claims. Exciting Oscar has been picking up prize money over hurdles and now makes his debut over fences. His best hurdling form was at around three miles but he could have a part to play. Storm Flight is another trying the bigger obstacles for the first time. He has been placed in three of his last four handicap hurdles. There is plenty of rain forecast prior to racing which wouldn't be to his advantage, though.
