        In depth

        Verdict

        SACRED PATH is hard to oppose in this given the Gosden filly has gone close in both starts to date and finished in front of a subsequent winner when runner-up at Haydock last time. Laughing Stranger and Qayed finished closer over shorter trips on their respective debuts than they did on their latest starts and Napoleonica failed to show any progress on her latest outing. The remainder have shown little so far but the newcomer Via Delle Volte is related to a host of winners.
