In depth

Verdict

An interesting and tightly-knit contest in which a valid case can be argued for all. There's very little between Little Boy Blue and PROCEDURE on their running at Bath earlier this season but this race may be run to suit the Stoute inmate. Nothing went right for her last time and that run is best forgotten. Nine Below Zero and Arzaak have similar profiles and should feature but Ocelot could do with a little help from the handicapper. Lalania receives weight from all and could be the pace angle on a drop back from 6f.
