      In depth

      Verdict

      A tight handicap on paper but Roger Varian's runners have an impressive strike rate at this course and THREE CLIFFS gets the nod. He attempted to make all over a mile on Polytrack last time and should be suited by the shorter trip on his handicap bow. Spreadable finished ahead of Minley when third in better company at Wolverhampton and is dropped 4lb but Leicester winner Got To Dance remains 7lb higher. Royal Warrior drops back down in class and should handle today's slow ground.
