In depth

Verdict

Bordoni won his maiden over C&D last month but some of those behind have already let the form down, while Cherry Street also makes his handicap debut having scored over 1m2f at Pontefract in October. Flying Trader will need to improve on December's nursery win at Wolverhampton but the progressive Clean Bowled is not easily dismissed despite his winning run coming to end over a shorter trip here last time. THETURNOFTHESUN wasn't disgraced when fourth in what looked a decent maiden at Doncaster on his return and John Gosden's Galileo colt can get off the mark with this longer trip likely to be in his favour.
