        In depth

        Verdict

        Sashenka, eased in grade, could figure in this if ridden with more restraint than at Goodwood. Red Secret finished second at Kempton and Wolverhampton last month but finished a place behind Road To Paris over this trip at Salisbury last time. Blue Medici is in decent form but a pound higher than when fourth last time at Sandown. SANDY STEVE, successful here a year ago, has been shaping as though ready for a step up in trip recently. He is back on the same mark as when second over 1m4f at Kempton last month so shouldn’t be far away, though Champs De Reves is also respected.
