      In depth

      Verdict

      Zalvados was out of his depth last time at Newbury but was regularly finding one too good before that. Paddy's Poem is 6lb higher than when successful over track and trip in February and was easily brushed aside next time at Stratford. CRACKING DESTINY’s two victories over fences have come on good going. He is probably high enough in the weights now but it will be a surprise if he’s not in the firing-line here. All Is Good looks up against it in this grade and Thahab Ifraj and Doubly Clever are making their chasing debuts.
