In depth

Verdict

Gerrard's Quest finished closer at Lingfield last time and should be in the mix while Boycie can be given a chance on his debut third at Brighton in April. But PASS THE MOON followed a placed effort here with a third at Goodwood behind a subsequent winner - Hugo Palmer's filly gets the nod on that form. Time Warp makes a quick reappearance after a modest effort at Kempton but Cat Royale went close on his debut at Newmarket last year and would have every chance on that form.
