In depth

Verdict

EMBOUR (NAP) returned a convincing winner at Salisbury a fortnight ago and there looks more to come from the Hannon colt. He’s getting weight from the Godolphin four-year-old Desert Frost, who scored over today’s trip on his debut and has been competing over 7f subsequently. Tashaaboh ended last year with a victory at Kempton and is not easily dismissed on his return while La Maquina was runner-up at the same track in December. Hedonism has the more recent form with a placed effort at Brighton and is another to consider.
