Capitalise on this 11-2 chance

Capitalise (3.50 Southwell) showed his wellbeing with a win on the Flat at Lingfield 12 days ago and can follow up back over hurdles today.

Runner-up to the useful Lothian Falcon at Wetherby in November, he proved unsuited by the return to two miles when only fifth at the same track later that month.  Having enjoyed that confidence-boosting success on the level, he should be ready to make the most of a fair mark over jumps now that he returns to a more suitable trip.  The 11-2 offered by Sportingbet is decent value.

Otarie (3.20 Southwell), who has yet to win in five starts, is a hot favourite to oppose on the betting exchanges.  He again looked short of pace when third to Dancing Dasi at Hereford last time and, while that bare form gives him a leading chance in this weak race, it was disconcerting to see him hanging in the closing stages.  He should be laid at around around 1.5
