    In depth

    Verdict

    Curzon Line was only headed close home over course and distance last week in a race in which Skidby Mill finished fourth. Encore Moi is on a hat-trick and one of only two previous course winners in the line-up. Invade is the other and also has decent claims while Rebel Lightning wasn't beaten far at Leicester last month when attempting to follow up an earlier win at that track in a seller. REMEMBER ME (NAP) was only beaten a nose by Encore Moi here last month and is entitled to turn the tables on 5lb better terms. She's improved in recent months and can resume winning ways.
