      In depth

      Verdict

      FEVER ROQUE has turned a corner and can shrug off a 9lb rise for winning very easily at Market Rasen. Handicap debutant Green Vault can chase him home having finished third over course and distance last month. Pure Surf looks best of the rest even though disappointing since winning at Sedgefield in November.
