In depth

Verdict

Togoville has won eleven times around here and is 7lb lower than his last winning mark so may not have finished yet. Empire State landed a 5f maiden here for Aidan O'Brien and has joined Joseph though hasn't been seen since July. Aloysius Lilius scored at Wolverhampton in December and again on Tapeta at Newcastle last week. She's A Babe has been racing in better company though over longer trips and was behind WAR HERO (NAP) over 7f last month. The winner was always up with the pace and stayed on strongly so the shorter trip shouldn't be a problem. Sceptical looked one to follow when gaining an easy maiden success in November but hasn't been done any favours by the handicapper.
