        In depth

        Verdict

        It doesn't get any worse than this and ITSAWINDUP is our idea of the most likely winner but Green Day Packer and Prince Of Medina are fair alternatives. Sheena West's charge was entitled to need a reappearance effort last time out and having exhibited form in similar company, we'll take him to run his race. Green Day Packer hasn't seen action on the flat for some time but this failed hurdler is just the sort of the horse that Pat Haslam has been able to engineer winning opportunities for in the past. Prince Of Medina is consistent at low levels and is sure to go close again. Limelight is a rare runner in this grade for Sir Mark Prescott so the market has to be monitored closely . Viscount Rossini has been in good form under National Hunt rules and it is to be hoped that he can translate that form to this discipline. Amwell Brave is perennially short odds in races of this nature. The well bred Niqaab is still a maiden and connections will be desperate to get a win into her for the paddock value. Treetops Hotel lost his way at the back end of the last turf season so it is hoped that the break has freshened him up. The fact that this race was oversubscribed speaks volumes and Itsawindup appears best of what are a truly shocking bunch.
