      In depth

      Verdict

      BUCKHORN ROCCO has the best recent form in this. He finished well clear of the rest when runner-up over course and distance last month and is weighted to get the better of Bring The Action and Yggdrasil. Victtorino has won twice over fences in France and has every chance if running anywhere near a provisional handicap mark as he debuts for a new yard but the rest make no appeal.
