      In depth

      Verdict

      This looks wide open with OO DE LALLY getting the speculative vote. A runner-up in a conditions race at Kempton last month, he has every chance on these terms with a recent run under his belt. The progressive Moraaheq steps up in class with a bit to find at the weights and the remainder return to action. Qaader was placed in a Group 3 contest at Newmarket last year while Quintillus, Duty Of Care, Decisive Edge and Fundamental all won novice races over 7f and the latter has an entry in the 2000 Guineas.
