    In depth

    Verdict

    Most of these are closely matched on these terms but STRATEGIC HEIGHTS won a handicap at Kempton on his penultimate start and finished well ahead of Alkashaaf when fourth here last time. Newstead Abbey beat Swendab when scoring over 5f at Wolverhampton recently and has won over today’s trip in the past while Impart drops in class having plummeted down the weights since last year’s success at Ripon. Mishaal remains out of form and the remaining pair have a tough task.
