      In depth

      Verdict

      David Nicholls has his team in good form now but most of his runners are tending to be better for the outing so his representative here Something may be best watched on his reappearance and preference is for Look Busy, who gets the vote with Not My Choice rated the pick of the remainder. The selection stepped up on her reappearance run that came on unsuitable soft ground when successful at Chester earlier this month and a reproduction of that effort on similarly quick ground today may suffice for Alan Berry's filly. Richard Fahey's Utmost Respect is a classy performer and has to be considered but he would ideally want more juice in the ground and may struggle under his penalties. Vhujon has not progressed from his Kempton success in March and of more interest may be another Chester winner Not My Choice, who won with plenty in hand at the May meeting. Look Busy has solid claims on Chester form though and the three-year-old is preferred.
