        In depth

        Verdict

        Whiskey Junction, China Cherub abd Bertbrand make the shortlist here, with Whiskey Juction taken to keep his supporters in good spirits. China Cherub has been turning in some good performances recently, notably when chasing home the progressive Dressed To Dance two outings ago. Well handicapped on that effort, she can go well, though her winless run stretches back almost a year to the day. Bertbrand doubled his winning tally in a claimer last time at Wolverhampton, and although he is in good heart, that looked a weaker affair than this by some distance. The handicapper has left him on the same mark though, and he can go well. After successive wins against recent winners, Whiskey Junction destroyed his field with a scintillating burst of pace last time at Kempton. Although he tied up a little in the closing stages, he duly completed a hat-trick. Liam Keniry may delay his challenge a little later this time, and Whiskey Junction is taken to defy a six pound penalty.
