In depth

Verdict

Maraafeq may finally be edging towards a decent mark while blinkers could spark a revival in Moleskin. Victor Dartnall also saddle Dancing Mist after a lay-off and Wheels Up will have benefited from last month's run at Bangor. Epee Celeste has been knocking on the door but Strongbows Legend continues to frustrate and was well beaten off today's mark at Exeter last month. Sea Saffron has claims on his best form and Azulada Bay won at Fontwell two runs ago but we're prepared to give another chance to WESTERN WHISKY, who would have gone close over C&D last time had he not unseated Choc Thornton and looks to be on a decent mark at present.
