      In depth

      Verdict

      Kind Sir has won three of his last four chases but, as a consequence, is 14lbs higher (less rider's claim) than for the last of those successes. Iron Express has put in some decent placed efforts but also keeps getting raised. Captaintwothousand is a course winner over a longer trip and this gelding from the Chris Fasirhurst yard looks more of a stayer than a speedster. Green Smoke would have a chance on his best hurdles form, and it is interesting to note that his shrewd trainer sends him straight into a handicap on his fencing bow. Route Sixty Six has won off this mark but he was slightly disappointing last time out. Blakeney Coast is from a shrewd yard and any market move would be significant.
