        In depth

        Verdict

        Danot came up just short in a claimer at Carlisle last week but this looks tougher. CAIGEMDAR showed plenty of early pace over 6f at Warwick on her debut but ran out of steam in the closing stages. The drop back in trip should suit and she's preferred to the other likely improvers in Show Spirit and Dark Reckoning. The newcomer Enlace is related to a 5f winner and any strong support in the betting could prove significant.
