      In depth

      Verdict

      OXFORD BLU can put a disappointing effort last time out behind him by taking this three-year-old staying event. The selection seemingly didn't handle the heavy ground at Nottingham last time out but has won on the AW in the past and can claim his second career victory in this. Gee Sixty Six steps up in trip here following a good effort over 1m6f last time and he can take second ahead of Bizet who was narrowly beaten last time out and races from 2lb out of the handicap today.
