Formscan - Horn Cape won two out of his last four starts and his most recent second in a class 4 event at Sedgefield puts him in the picture. However, he could find it tough to beat SINCE DAY ONE. Donald McCain's gelding hasn't been seen in this sphere since April 2022, when he finished fourth at Ayr, and he remains fairly unexposed for his age, so it would be no surprise to see him get his head back in front. Matchless completes the shortlist.
