        In depth

        Verdict

        BERLUSCA needs to dig a bit deeper off his current mark but this looks less competitive than his recent tasks. A multiple winner on the Polytrack, he has the beating of True Pleasure on collateral form and gets a tentative vote to finally open his account on Turf. Dance For Georgie showed her first worthwhile form of the year when third at Beverley last time and makes more appeal than the returning Indian Giver and Secret Empress, with the latter stepping up in trip for this.
