        In depth

        Verdict

        Hector Crouch could afford to ease down THIRD STRIKE in the closing stages of an apprentices' race at Kempton last week. He's good value for much more than the official winning margin and is a winner without a penalty. Jazri, Flying Author and Angelena Ballerina will all do well to reverse latest running with the selection while Officer In Command is up in class after winning a Class 7 contest at Wolverhampton. Teide Peak finished ahead of My Anchor when third at Lingfield last time and Candesta steps up in distance on the back of a second at this venue.
