      In depth

      Verdict

      Mark Johnston’s two runners, State Of Bliss and Top Of The Pops, both made the running last time before weakening. The latter probably has the most scope but the race could be set up to suit LEGENDARY DAY (NAP), who looked more than useful when quickening to score easily at Nottingham last month with a subsequent winner back in third. Cuban Cigar is preferred to Urban War of the remainder.
