1:45 York Captain Dunne 0.5pts EW - 16/1 (VC) Think Captain Dunne is massive value here. Will need to carry a big weight compared to a lot of these but is a class sprinter and is always there or thereabouts in big handicap sprints. Was only 2l behind Borderlescott last time out in a group 2, and has beaten him off level weights this year when just nailed on the line in a listed contest. His win this year came in a race similar to this also. Disappointed in the Epsom dash (second in 2009), but was slowly away, something he doesn't normally do which you can forgive. Has won on most types of ground and has put up some very decent performances at York, so you can expect a bold showing.
