        In depth

        Verdict

        Moor Lane will have professional assistance for the first time this year and comes into this a reasonably fresh horse at this time of year. He has never won off a mark as high as this, but this isn't the most competitive of events and he should go well. Red Guard is another capable of a bold show, but he isn't one to trust, while Midnight Gunner, who normally plies his trade around the gaffs, may find this too competitive for his liking. A chance is taken with Spinofski, who was never competitive at Cheltenham. Prior to that he had finished runner-up to progressive types in the shape of Ibis Rochelais and Haut Cercy and a reproduction of either of those runs would be good enough in this.
