        In depth

        Verdict

        Bond Boy is from a yard in top form and has to be respected, but we will take a chance on Out After Dark, with Magic Glade also expected to be in the shake up. James Given's gelding contested a much stronger handicap at Goodwood last time, running a race full of credit. He only tired in the closing stages of that six furlong event won by Eisteddfod and will be much better suited by today's distance. Bond Boy beat Highland Warrior at Musselburgh and wasn't disgraced next time when finishing a close up third behind Wyatt Earp at Redcar. A similar performance today should see him involved in the finish. Magic Glade was well supported when finishing fourth to Corridor Creeper in a very competitive race at Haydock last time and should be chasing some place money. The eleven-year-old Bishop's Court may do best of the others, but Out After Dark has ground and distance in his favour today and looks the one to beat.
