        In depth

        Verdict

        Several of these have winning form between the flags but recent Wincanton winner MISS MIDNIGHT is the only one to have so far won under Rules and Mary Tory's 11-year-old can post a follow-up. Flanshan represents a successful trainer/jockey combination and should be thereabouts while Delta Borget, Johnny's Way and Searree have a bit of scope and are preferred to Himalayan Express of the others.
