      In depth

      Verdict

      Arabian Warrior won at Newcastle when dropped in trip and is 5lb higher today. Napper Tandy has something to prove over this far after going close over 1m4f but Trinity Girl was winning over a similar trip here early in the year. Sea Appeal went close at Newmarket for his new connections but IN THE BREEZE was having only his second outing for Mick Appleby when a close-up fourth at Kempton and he gets the vote with this longer trip likely to suit.
