In depth

Verdict

There are a few exposed types in this. COURT JURADO is 1-25 and has been hurdling recently but has had wind surgery since last seen and is probably on a fair mark if the operation has produced the desired effect. Rostello is 1-20 but that sole victory came two runs ago, though he remains 5lb higher. Zuckerberg never got involved at Leicester a couple of weeks ago and is now visored but this is not a strong heat.
