Captain Connor holds a clear edge on ratings over his rivals at Newton Abbot, sitting narrowly ahead of Ocean Heights and Devon Red who represent the chief threats in what looks a competitive Class 5 contest over the extended trip. Ocean Heights and Devon Red are closely matched on ratings and will need to improve to bridge the gap, while Gilded Glance cannot be entirely dismissed as a each-way factor over this stamina-testing 22 furlongs. On balance, the edge in class of form points one way, and Captain Connor is the selection.
