      In depth

      Verdict

      Cherry Cola can be hard to catch right but is back on the same mark as when landing this 12 months ago. A winner at Chepstow and Ripon last summer, GEORGE BANCROFT also won later over hurdles. Charlie Longsdon doesn’t run many on the Flat and his charge will lack nothing in fitness. Alpha King looked a tricky ride tried over this trip at Yarmouth but Alpine Stroll is respected despite now being 0-16. Rumi has won on Polytrack but was beaten a long way on his reappearance at Newbury.
