In depth

Verdict

Richard Hannon sets a poser by saddling both Zandicular and Climate and there is little to choose between the pair at the weights. Marginal preference is for the latter who has held his form well of late and should give another good account with conditions in his favour. However, the pair may be battling for minor honours as Commanding has solid claims. Amanda Perrett's charge is not the most straightforward or consistent but a repeat of his last-time out effort when third at Ascot off a mark of 77 may suffice under regular partner Richard Quinn.
