        In depth

        Verdict

        Not much strength in depth here and this is likely to revolve around Master Florian and Camdenation. The latter failed to act on the bottomless ground at Folkestone last time and is worth another chance to show he is better than that. However, he faces a decent rival in the shape of Master Florian, who comes from the same family as the high class stayer Moorcroft Boy. A winner between the flags last spring, he is a staying chaser in the making, but the way he won his novice at Plumpton suggested he can win a few of these before his attentions are switched to chasing.
