    In depth

    Verdict

    Countback lost nothing in defeat behind Dubai Sunday at Lingfield earlier this month and has to be considered but a 3lb rise since then leaves Tony Carroll's gelding with more to do and with Come What July invariably finding at least one too good preference in a moderate contest is for Nod's Star. The selection landed a classified stakes race over course and distance in January and has held his form pretty well since then so is taken to resume winning ways over a trip that suits. Domenico is proving to be hard to win with and may have to settle for a minor role at best, while Myrtle Bay has yet to prove that he really stays this far. Lysander's Quest is capable but is on a long losing sequence and a safer bet may be Nod's Star.
