      In depth

      Verdict

      Roy Rocket is a Brighton specialist where he's gained all of his five victories. Atwix has only won twice, both times on Lingfield's Polytrack, while Shalimah, who beat just two rivals over 1m2f at Chepstow, has yet to prove he stays this far. Speculator is another Lingfield specialist having gained his three victories there but SUNDAY ROYAL (NAP), who has yet to win, ran very well in the Ladies' Derby over the track and trip last time and has now dropped to his lowest-ever mark so looks the one to be on. Comanche Chieftain is another who has produced his best form on the all-weather.
