In depth

Verdict

Dove Cottage hasn't won since 2009 and has been dropped 11lb for his return to action as a result, but Minder and Annelko are still without a win between them. Sunset Place is also a maiden though he did go close in this grade on the Polytrack last month. Shy won over a shorter trip at Salisbury last summer but has been out of sorts since so the vote goes to PEACEFUL SOUL. She hasn't been seen at the track since this time last year when well beaten in a couple of maidens over 1m2f but may prove a different proposition over this longer trip for David Lanigan's in-form yard.
