      In depth

      Verdict

      ASWAN’s ability to handle soft going has to be taken on trust but he separated a couple of Godolphin runners when second at Leicester and that’s the strongest form on offer. Prosperous Voyage finished a respectable fourth at Doncaster on her debut and is preferred to Captain Square while Quick Sylva is a half-sister to four winners and makes most appeal of the newcomers.
