        In depth

        Verdict

        Placed over 1m4f at both Leicester and Salisbury so far, GUSTAV HOLST gets another chance receiving plenty of weight from the four-year-old Garden Paradise. The latter has placed in all three outings, including over 1m2f at Chelmsford on her reappearance, and is preferred to Lingfield fourth Mr Curiosity. Crossing The Bar showed little last season but his yard remains in fine form while Valley Forge makes more appeal than Mind Hunter of the newcomers.
