In depth

Verdict

Sarah Humphrey's small yard can do little wrong at the moment so the enigmatic Zorro De La Vega, who has already won twice this season, shouldn't be dismissed out of hand. Milgen Bay romped home in a maiden chase at Towcester earlier this month and has scope for further improvement, while Quicuyo was second off today's mark at Aintree last time after winning on his reappearance at Carlisle. Majestic Mayhem, Knockavilla and Gentleman Anshan could all figure if in the mood but MARLEY ROCA, progressive in the spring, has his sights lowered after a couple of runs at Cheltenham this autumn and can take advantage.
