        In depth

        Verdict

        Bobby Shaftoe beat Steel Helmet easily enough in a classified race over track and trip but is penalised back in a handicap and INTERNATIONAL LAW is preferred. The latter was beaten only a length when fifth at Wolverhampton and should go close again off the same mark. Forgetmenotblue finished in front of Bristol Hill when fourth over a longer trip here while Lituus is upped in trip.
