        In depth

        Verdict

        Hadath is at the top of his game and can land the hat-trick here at the expense of Dvinsky and Go Yellow. Brendan Powell's eight-year-old seems to have found a new lease of life, landing back to back victories on the all-weather at Lingfield. His previous turf form back in 2003 was of a very high standard and although he has regressed since then he should be up to landing this weak event off his current mark. Go Yellow comes here in good heart having landed a similar event at Folkestone last time. He hasn't been harshly punished for that success and should be involved in the finish today. Meanwhile Dvinsky has been knocking on the door for the last three months and should grab some place money again. Zafarshah looks the pick of the others, but Hadath is expected to make it three wins in a row.
