In depth

Verdict

ME AND BEN and Je T'Aime should dominate this but preference is for the former, who appears the more consistent and looked in good heart when chasing home the useful As I Am in a Worcester handicap earlier this week. The latter finished tailed off at Perth last Saturday but still makes more appeal than Langley House, who has been well beaten in all three starts over timber. Mini Muck is well related but hasn't raced for more than two years.
