        In depth

        Verdict

        Topatoo, gets the confident vote here with Society Music and Stellite rating the main dangers. The selection won with a little in hand last time out when beating She's Our Lass and despite her penalty under similar conditions here he is taken to defy the handicapper. Society Music rates the main danger on his latest third behind Bollin Edward. He is on a fair mark but he is hard to win with and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Stellite was behind Society Music last time out but will appreciate this longer trip and he should be noted in the market. Tidy won well last time out when beating Mystical Ayr but this looks more competitive and he will need to improve again to win off this higher mark. Of the remainder Rain Stops Play is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but he looks weighted up to his best and with this in mind for the winner we return to Topatoo.
