In depth

Verdict

Plenty of these hold solid claims and this could go right down to the wire. However, Deeper In Dept could find this unfolding to suit his style of running and the six-year-old, who has been freshened up by a winter break, is selected over College Delinquent, Vortex and Agilis, who are all capable of making this a truly run affair. Sir Francis is another who likes to be bold from the gates and he could help to set this up for a fast finisher. A scenario will play directly into the hands of Gary Carter, whose instructions are likely to see him sitting handy throughout the first six furlongs. The 80-day absence should not be a problem for Deeper In Dept as he has tended to go well when fresh in the past. Therefore, he looks to be the value call in a race that could see plenty taken off their hooves in early stages.
