        In depth

        Verdict

        Axiom retains plenty of ability though he's hard to win with nowadays and Final Drive remains 5lb higher than when last successful. The latter has plenty to find with KINGSCROFT on latest running as Mark Johnston's charge was back to something like his best when going very close in similar company at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago with Reve De Nuit well beaten. He should improve for that comeback outing and is just preferred to the consistent George Guru, who was beaten only a length over C&D last time having won at Kempton before that. Titan Triumph arrives on the back of a win over 7f here but his is much tougher.
