        In depth

        Verdict

        Murzim is a course and distance winner and goes well in blinkers as he showed when a close second behind Contact Dancer over 1m6f at Nottingham last month. gerard Butler's chharge has since acquitted himself well on his all-weather debut at Lingfield and should give another bold display. King's Crest has been struggling of late but has now dropped to a most favourable mark and a return to the same level of form that saw him win three handicaps last term will make him hard to beat on these terms. Trouble Mountain has been in fair form and is better than his finishing position sugggests last time in Redcar's Zetland Gold Cup after finding trouble in running.
