        In depth

        Verdict

        Grand Meister will need to dig a bit deeper off his current mark and the handicapper is loathed to drop Mairise in the weights despite three defeats in handicap company. Fort Berkeley was still beaten six lengths when runner-up in maiden race at Kempton so another chance goes to RED PASSIFLORA. She found one too good when favourite at Brighton but scored over track and trip on her reappearance and is just preferred to Spirit Or Soul.
