      In depth

      Verdict

      Arian had just been headed when falling two out at Cheltenham in December. She has gone up 3lb since so may just be in the handicapper’s grip now. Destrier hasn’t threatened in two runs this term but slips further down the weights. Vienna Court has failed to build on a third at Bangor but FUNAMBULE SIVOLA has been improving and looks sure to run his race again after coming up a better-treated rival last time. Zambezi Fix defied market expectations over further here last time but this looks more competitive.
