Formscan - Captain Corcoran has plummeted in the ratings and is dangerous to rule out, while Captain Dandy is open to progression on just his second start since being gelded and also warrants a second look on these terms. However, Mick Appleby has a knack of improving cast-offs from other yards and, with that in mind, HOWYADOIN, who was placed over course and distance for his former stable in July, could be worth chancing off 3lb lower today.
