      In depth

      Verdict

      Several of these have been threatening to get their heads in front but MOJITO (NAP) actually did so when successful over 7f at Sandown. He had a subsequent winner back in third and is taken to shrug off a 5lb rise. Esprit De Corps went close in a lower grade at Ascot three weeks ago while Derek Duval won over track and trip before finishing second at York and both have been raised a further 2lb. Musawaat ran well at Doncaster back in May but was well beaten at Epsom off today’s mark last time.
