Sandown next for Captain

CAPTAIN DUNNE is likely to have his next race at either Sandown or York after connections decided against a trip to Ireland this weekend.

Concerns over soft ground prompted connections of the Tim Easterby-trained sprinter to rule out the Woodies DIY Sapphire Stakes at the Curragh tomorrow.

The Epsom ‘Dash’ winner will now either go for the Group Three Coral Charge at Sandown on Saturday week, or the Listed John Smith’s City Wall Stakes at York in two weeks’ time.
