      In depth

      Verdict

      Mozafin seems to hold the key to the form of those to have run and he gets our vote here ahead of Sacranun and a number of interesting newcomers. The selection was narrowly beaten by Fiefdom on his latest run and, with that horse having gone on to run a very good second in an Ascot nursery last time, the form looks solid. Acranun is hard to assess, coming here on the back of a second on his debut in Italy and there are a number of interesting newcomers to look at, including Michael Jarvis's Josh, Brian Meehan's Chief Scout, Tim Easterby's Love And Laughter, plus Only Just Begun, who is related to a number of winners, Throw The Dice, a half-brother to the useful Hazyview and Mytton's Bell, who disappointed on the all-weather last time but had shown promise on his Turf debut the time before. In what is, then, an interesting contest, we will opt for Mozafin.
