        In depth

        Verdict

        Constantino is probably better than his form figures suggest but returns after a long break and may do better when returned to Turf. SEA FOX has generally performed at a high level and his narrow defeat in a Class 2 handicap here last week, following an earlier victory at Kempton, puts him in the driving seat and he'll be difficult to beat. Humbert is an obvious threat on his bid for a four-timer, though he was receiving 3lb from Poet's Society when beating him narrowly at Wolverhampton and Mark Johnston's charge is 4lb better off. Towerlands Park was beaten just over a length when fifth behind Chevalier here in January and is 8lb better off while the remaining pair can also be given chances in a competitive opener.
