        In depth

        Verdict

        RED CYMBAL is penalised for a recent course and distance success but Georgia Cox’s allowance helps on that score and he should confirm running with fourth-placed Filbert Street. Choice Encounter should have the edge over Arden Pearl on these terms, though the former is stepping up in distance for the first time today. Mushtaq will likely finish closer having made a modest debut over 7f at Kempton and Grandfather Tom is a newcomer to note.
