In depth
Verdict
Not much to get excited about among this bunch but Unify was beaten less than a length over a longer trip at Taunton last time and was also second over 2m at the same track earlier. Humbel Ben is better over fences but I'llhavealook is a course and distance winner and so is ICE KONIG. Better going will suit Jimmy Frost's seven-year-old, who is back on a winning mark. Westend Prince has struggled for consistency so far but could figure if in the mood.
