      In depth

      Verdict

      Unbeaten in four starts for Andre Fabre last year, including a Listed race, Blue Rambler makes his belated debut for Charlie Appleby and could be anything. Rewaaya is another unexposed type but is looking to put a poor effort at Newmarket behind her and FATTSOTA (NAP) looks a safer bet. David O'Meara's charge was beaten only a head in a competitive handicap at York last time and this extra distance will suit. Harris Tweed needs further these days, as does Shwaiman, while Irish raider Cardinal Palace arrives out of sorts.
